Advanced CFD tools for designing combustion systems and material processing 

Daat Research Corporation 

Hanover, NH  
 

INNOVATION 
    A fast, compact, PC-based code for analyzing combustion and materials processes
Example of results for electronics cooling
Example of Results for Electronics Cooling
ACCOMPLISHMENTS 
  • A first of its kind, fast code for complex chemically reacting  flows in arbitrary geometries
  • Ability to run efficiently on MS-Windows PCs
  • Custom versions developed for optimizing certain processes such as nozzle flows and fiber manufacturing  for composites applications
COMMERCIALIZATION 
  • Based on the developed technology, Daat produced Coolit - a unique CFD code for electronics cooling applications
  • Coolit and its sister code, CoolitPCB, are currently de facto standards for electronics cooling modeling
  • Some of the world's best companies such as Boeing, Cisco, Raytheon, Eaton, Honeywell, IBM, Toyota, Lucent, LSI Logic and many others now rely on Coolit for their thermal design needs
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS 
  • Highly compact and efficient code for designing and optimizing reactive flows in nozzles and in manufacturing  processes for composite fibers
  • Used in support of high speed research (HSR), and microgravity programs
  • The commercial code, Coolit, is used in thermal design of  electronics
