Aspiring for better design analysis? Need a competitive advantage?

Nick Hutchins Fluid Mechanics can provide advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of your designs throughout the entire process.

Nick Hutchins Fluid Mechanics primarily uses Ansys CFX - a Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) code finite volume method. This solves for the flow in the entire domain as opposed to potential flow methods that use a boundary condition to form a mathematical approximation of the flow.

A RANS Code is therefore capable of solving much more complex flows and geometries. Breaking waves and highly turbulent flows such as those occurring around transom sterns are all within it's capabilities, along with complex geometries including propellers and water-jet intakes. While a RANS Code is able to solve almost any flow, it may not always be the most efficient tool for a particular design problem. Expert knowledge is required to ascertain its applicability and to ensure accurate results.
