Fluid Mechanics

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is critical for a wide range of industrial applications where fluid flows (water, oil, air, gas, …) are present. Besides improving the design of equipment by better understanding the flow characteristics, this type of analysis has reached such a maturity level in terms of accuracy and speed that the return on investment is extremely high.

AP Dynamics has developed a strong expertise in numerical simulation of fluid dynamics, including interaction with structures, chemical reactions, and heat transfer.
The development of this expertise has been made possible by our long-term investment in High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure that exceeds 1,000 cores and it is growing.

Our team of specialists is ready to assist you throughout your project from definition of scope to review of results to ensure your project benefits from the advantages offered by state-of-the-art computational tools.
