Capabilities
The physics we simulate and the analysis we put around it.
External Aerodynamics
Lift, drag and flow separation on vehicles, wings, buildings and structures.
Steady and transient RANS, DES and LES simulations to predict forces, pressure distributions and wake behaviour, with careful near-wall treatment and checks against published data.
- Airfoils & wings
- Vehicle drag
- Wind loading on buildings
- Bluff-body wakes
Internal Flow & HVAC
Pressure loss, flow distribution and ventilation in ducts, pipes, rooms and equipment.
Flow uniformity, pressure drop and air-change effectiveness for systems where energy use and comfort matter.
- Pipe & duct networks
- Data-centre cooling
- Indoor ventilation
- Pumps & valves
Heat Transfer
Conjugate heat transfer, natural convection and thermal management.
Coupled fluid–solid thermal analysis for finding hot spots, comparing cooling strategies and checking designs against temperature limits.
- Electronics cooling
- Heat exchangers
- Natural convection
- Solar thermal
Multiphase & Reacting Flow
Free surfaces, sprays, particles and combustion.
Interface-capturing and Lagrangian methods for flows where several phases or chemical reactions control the behaviour.
- VOF free-surface flow
- Particle-laden flow
- Sprays
- Combustion
Environmental & Urban Flow
Pedestrian wind comfort, pollutant dispersion and microclimate.
Atmospheric boundary-layer modelling at urban scale to support planning and environmental assessment.
- Pedestrian wind comfort
- Dispersion modelling
- Urban heat island
- Natural ventilation
Engineering Analytics
Turning simulation and sensor data into decisions — surrogates, optimisation and uncertainty.
Data pipelines, statistics and machine learning applied to simulation and test data, so a few expensive runs can answer many design questions.
- Design of experiments
- Surrogate & reduced-order models
- Optimisation
- Uncertainty quantification
