Create CFD look-up tables with Tabkin

Tabkin features

In the context of advanced combustion modelling with CFD, the use of look-up tables is an emerging trend. Tabkin has been designed specifically for the generation of CFD look-up tables. Features include:

• Easy and powerful user interfaces
• Online data visualisation and analysis tools
• Various chemistry solvers and combustion model exports
• Scalable CPU resources for generating CFD look-up tables in hours instead of weeks or months!

Tabkin enables you to include latest model developments in your CFD modelling process and to deploy them throughout your organisation.

Turn-key or custom solution

Tabkin offers a turn-key solution for users of ANSYS^® FLUENT^® including several off-the-shelf chemistry solvers and combustion model exports.

At the same time, the Tabkin platform can be fully customised to work with your specific software and hardware environment:

• CFD code: Star-CD, AVL FIRE, OpenFOAM^®, Code_Saturne, ...
• Combustion model: ePDF, ECFM-CLEH, ECFM-3Z, FPI, FGM, SFPV, UFPV, ...
• Chemistry model: thermodynamic equilibrium, homogeneous reactor, laminar premixed or diffusion flames
• IT environment: MS Windows or Linux operating systems, workstations, cluster or cloud environments 

Cost effective solution

Tabkin offers a cost-effective solution for the generation of CFD look-up tables. When comparing to currently available alternatives:

• Compared to single-license commercial package: at least 10x faster
• Compared to 8-license commercial package: up to 10x cheaper
• Compared to in-house or academic software package: by far 10x easier

Enabling technology

Tabkin is fully web-based and combines the benefits of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud Computing concepts:

• SSL security: high-grade encryption for secure data exchange
• Web-based: perfect for use in multi-user, multi-site industrial environments
• Cloud computing: scalable CPU resources from commercial providers are used
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): no installation, no updates, no IT investments!

Simplified workflow

The workflow of generating a CFD look-up table using Tabkin is as follows:

• User login via secure https session
• Simulation set-up and execution on large number of CPUs
• Online data visualisation and analysis
• Download results to user workstation for CFD purposes
