CFD, Methodology and Analysis
Physics chosen for the mechanism in question: RANS to scale-resolving turbulence, laminar–turbulent transition, aeroelastic deformation and conjugate heat transfer.
What we provide
Delivered as one programme, or as one workstream inside yours.
CFD methodology
Built for the decision it has to support, validated against test, then locked as a versioned process.
Analysis
Aerodynamic maps across the envelope, sensitivities and ranked options, with the mechanism behind each delta.
Simulation at scale
Hundreds of cases run identically, on our HPC or inside your toolset and standards.
How we build a methodology
We start from the decision: what the simulation has to be right about, and to what tolerance. We build it fit for purpose, adding complexity only where it changes the answer. We validate it against tunnel or track data, then lock it as a controlled, versioned recipe that every engineer runs the same way.
Proven results
Cadillac F1, from a clean sheet to the grid: the entire CFD methodology and the team behind it. Validated on public data: 0.008 drag coefficient against a full-scale wind tunnel on the DrivAer reference model. Rim-driven electric propeller: +18% measured efficiency, chosen in simulation and confirmed in test.
How we engage
Project: a defined question, answered, on our infrastructure or yours. Methodology build-out: a process built, validated, benchmarked and handed over. Embedded: engineers inside your team, working to your process and standards.
