Optimizing swimming pools using advanced flow simulation
Advances in technology have made simulations indispensable in a wide range of industrial sectors. In the field of swimming pool construction, too – from pool hydraulics to building design – modern simulation methods make a key contribution to improving efficiency and quality assurance. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to precisely analyse and optimise both flow problems in swimming pools and air flows in indoor swimming pools. In addition, acoustic simulations enable well-founded planning of room acoustics in order to specifically control the noise level in interior spaces and increase comfort.
A practical example is the renovation project for the Kostheim swimming pool in Wiesbaden, where CFD simulations identified inefficient flow patterns and corrected them by changing the nozzle arrangement, resulting in significant cost savings.
Overall, these digital tools enable the scientifically sound optimisation of swimming pools and their infrastructure. Operators, local authorities and architects can thus reduce operating costs, promote sustainability, increase comfort for bathers and, at the same time, act in an economically and ecologically sensible manner.
