Research on Innovative Design of Cone Kitchen Range Hood Based on "UX+CFD"

Abstract

In order to promote user satisfaction and reduce the risk of product development, an innovative design solution of kitchen range hood based on User experience (UX) and CFD technology is proposed. First, Capture the demand of users through user research, then brainstorm multiple solutions and make a preliminary prototype. Given the difficulty of the suction and noise usability test. Take advantage of CFD technology to simulate performance of derivative modelling of the new cone kitchen range hood. Compared to traditional physical prototype, CFD virtual prototypes are proved to be more efficient and less cost. This research strategy case can provide reference for similar production Optimization design, reduce the subjectivity of using single UX approach.
