Aerodynamics is the study of the moving air around or inside solid bodies, or in another perspective, the study of a moving body in the air. Most of the aerodynamic quantities can be well analyzed by an aerodynamics simulation using a cutting edge CFD solver.

Most important quantities we can provide our customers with:

• aerodynamic drag simulation and calculation
• lift calculation
• moment and center of pressure
• turbulence, separation and vortices
• pressure loss calculation

External Aerodynamics and aerospace CFD

As an aerospace CFD fluid dynamics consulting company we can provide preliminary, HVAC and sloshing CFD simulations in the Aerospace domain. In case of an aircraft external aerodynamics CFD the air forces acting on existing, newly mounted or modified surfaces can be estimated, among others. This will deliver valuable information to the design engineering staff to properly size parts under influence of strong turbulence, high velocities and thus 3D forces.

• Lift and drag forces on components and modifications
  • Different angle of attack, yaw and turbulent cases
  • Analysis of airframe components such as landing gear, high lift configuration, nacelles etc.
  • Airframe and part load analysis
• Transient simulation of time-dependent flow structures
  • Effect of turbulent structures
  • Changing wind conditions
  • High angle of attack: transient CFD is necessary
• Preliminary design
  • Analysis of modified or newly built-in components
  • Steady and time varying air force development on parts for further static and dynamic structural analysis
  • Identification of extreme conditions and loads
  • Comparison of different designs for wind loads
• Flow-thermal analysis
  • Steady and time dependent thermal analysis of parts
  • Heating/cooling of components
  • Heat radiation analysis
