How Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Technology Makes Better Gelato

The engineers at engineering consultancy R&D CFD are accustomed to applying CFD simulation to the challenges of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) design. A recent project called on them to apply their analysis techniques to a different type of “ICE”--ICE cream. Their approach, however, was the same—using Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Multiphysics CFD software allowed the engineers to simulate 2000 variegator design variants in 17 days, and then optimize the design of the feeding chamber to guarantee that the final product would have the desired home-made, variegated appearance each time.
