JL & Associates Utilizes Rescale To Expedite Oil Boiling CFD Analysis

Customer Challenge:
JL & A, a business and engineering consultancy firm based in Colorado, was looking to utilize multiphase CFD analysis for modeling boiling oil (C12H26).  Their main goal was to achieve steady state convergence which required 23k Iterations @ ~20 sec/It.  The resource demands of this analysis would completely monopolize the company’s analysis licensed PC, rendering it unusable for over a week which led JL & A to look for a solution that would be both cost-effective and allow them to get the work they needed to be done quickly without sacrificing their local resources.

Results Achieved:
Running these analyses on the Rescale platform solved this problem.  By uploading the analysis to Resale’s platform which enabled them to instantly scale up to 48 cores, Rescale reduced the time required to run the analysis from 5.3 days to a minuscule 12 hours.  This both increased productivity and allowed JLA the ability to use internal PC resources to advance other projects in a timely fashion.
“Utilizing Rescale’s software enabled JLA’s engineering and CPU resources to remain available for additional projects while the analysis was easily monitored in the background.” – Josh Taylor, President
