Aerodynamics
Make faster, higher-confidence aerodynamic decisions with CFD that is scoped for engineering outcomes. We provide solver-agnostic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) consulting for aerodynamic performance, stability, and load predictions supporting product teams from early concept trade studies through detailed design validation. Our workflow turns complex physics into clear KPIs, visually compelling results, and actionable recommendations that reduce test iterations and design risk.
What CFD delivers
We focus on outputs that directly inform design decisions:
Forces and moments:
Cd/Cl/Cm (or axial/normal forces), yaw sensitivity, and derivative trends
Pressure maps (Cp):
surface distributions, peak loads, and load envelopes Flow features: separation/reattachment zones, vortices, wake structure, and recirculation pockets
Performance KPIs:
drag breakdown (where feasible), lift-to-drag trends, pressure recovery, and loss coefficients for ducts
Velocity Contour
Unsteady metrics:
time histories, fluctuation levels, and spectra (when URANS/DES/LES is used)
Deliverables include presentation-ready visuals (3D contours/streamlines) and concise KPI tables comparing configurations.
Deliverables:
Configuration matrix and operating envelope definition (yaw, AoA, speed/Mach, crosswind)
KPI summary tables and design ranking
Labeled visual set: Cp, velocity, vorticity, Q-criterion, streamlines, wake planes
Recommendations for geometry changes and validation/test planning
Optional correlation plan: wind-tunnel/road test/field measurement alignment
Let’s discuss:
If you share your geometry, operating conditions, and success criteria (e.g., drag target, load limits, uniformity goals), we can scope a CFD study quickly and deliver decision-ready results aligned to your design milestones.
