Aerospace Computational Services
Comprehensive aerospace engineering solutions — from high-fidelity CFD to rapid methods that make iteration affordable, all validated against wind tunnel and flight test data.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
High-Fidelity RANS Analysis — Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations for complex configurations, including transonic flow analysis, multiple turbulence models, and validation against experimental data.
Rapid Aerodynamic Methods — Quasi-3D methods combining 2D viscous data with lifting-surface theory, plus panel-boundary layer techniques, delivering results up to 100× faster than full RANS.
Solver Development & Customisation — Custom boundary condition development, OpenFOAM modifications, and compressible potential-flow solvers.
