For fluid dynamics and airflow, we model inlet and outlet boundary conditions, steady-state and transient flow, as well as complex effects such as porosity, non-Newtonian viscosity, viscoelasticity, and more.

Even if you have a mature thermal testing program, up front simulation can save time and money by identifying locations of peak temperatures and critical heat flow routes. We exist to help you!

Our Capabilities:

• Fluid Mechanics
• Evaluate complex fluid flow
• Evaluate complex effects such as porosity, cavitation, and humidity
• Heat Transfer
• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Analysis
• Analyze thermal test data

Tools we use:

• ANSYS Icepak
• SolidWorks Flow Simulation
