On October 8, Guangzhou Zhongwang Longtang Software Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongwang Software”) announced the acquisition of British veteran commercial fluid simulation software developer Concentration,Heat and Momentum Limited (hereinafter referred to as “CHAM”) by way of wholly-owned holding.
After the completion of the acquisition, Zhongwang Software will own all the source code and core technology of the fluid simulation software PHOENICS of CHAM, and its R&D and business teams in the UK and Japan will also join Zhongwang Software to provide services to PHOENICS customers around the world. At this point, Zhongwang officially entered the field of commercial fluid simulation, accelerating the creation of Zhongwang multi-disciplinary and multi-physics simulation solutions covering structure, electromagnetic and fluid.
01PHOENICS
The world’s first commercial simulation software for computational fluid dynamics and computational heat transfer
CHAM was founded in 1974 by Professor D.B. palding, the founder of computational fluid Dynamics and Computational Heat Transfer (” CFD “), and is mainly engaged in commercial CFD software development and technical consulting services. In 1981, CHAM released PHOENICS, the world’s first general purpose commercial simulation software for computational fluid dynamics and computational heat transfer. Since then, CFD has begun to play an increasing role in various industrial sectors. In the following 40 years, PHOENICS software has been widely used in machinery, electronics, automotive, construction, transportation, energy and other manufacturing and engineering construction fields, and its typical customers include the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Meinhardt in Singapore, As well as domestic Shanghai Electric, China Academy of Urban Design and Planning, Tsinghua University, Fudan University and other internationally renowned enterprises and universities.
“After the preliminary professional technical research, we believe that PHOENICS can complement the existing product technology, and the PHOENICS simulation with the PHOENICS product capability will continue to meet the complex and diverse simulation needs faced by China’s industrial production at this stage. To further help Chinese enterprises in the digital era to achieve product development and design cost reduction and efficiency.” According to Dr. Tan Wenjun, product manager of Zhongwang Fluid Simulation, PHOENICS is a general fluid simulation software that has been honed and recognized by real customers after years of industrial front-line scenarios. Phoenics not only has a general CFD calculation module, but also professional modules suitable for two-phase flow calculation, chemical vapor deposition, building HVAC simulation and medical flow analysis. It also provides rich CAD interface, 3D modeling function, PARSOL grid generation technology, flexible In-Form user-defined function and up to 20 kinds of turbulence models, fully supporting various fluid simulation analysis application scenarios such as combustion, radiation, multiphase flow. “With rich experience in serving global industrial enterprises and a sound global marketing network, we will continue to work with the CHAM team to provide better, faster and more complete technical support and simulation consulting services to all PHOENICS customers.”
