CFD Computational Engineering
Accelerates product development through computational fluid dynamics
Page last modified
July 12 2024
Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation is a powerful tool for accelerating new product development and reducing time-to-market for customers in process-intensive industries. CFD technology, combined with cross-industry subject matter expertise, enables the creation of comprehensive off-line process digital twins using multi-physics modeling.
With integration of chemical reactions, combustion, heat and mass transfer, and multi-phase phenomena CFD accurately replicates real-world physical behavior.
The CFD software tools used at aixprocess are industry-leading and certified, running on high-performance hardware in combination of in-house servers and cloud-computing where applicable. More than 20 years of experience, a team of highly qualified process engineers and established CFD best practices guarantee a leading combination of process and computational engineering, allowing customers to expand their internal expertise in a single project or as an extended workbench in a long-term partnership.
