Renewables

We provide Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) services to help design and optimise wind and tidal turbine rotors, and other energy generating devices driven by tidal power. We help our customers to understand the flow characteristics for:

• Blade profiling
• Rotor power assessment
• Wake effects
• 6 Degree-of-Freedom rigid body motion

We use a range of CFD and FSI solvers to predict the response of the design to real-life environmental conditions:

• OpenFOAM CFD solver
• scFLOW CFD solver
• Nastran / Marc FEM solvers

This can include proprietary developed software to meet individual customer needs.
