CFD and engineering services

CFS Engineering supports aerodynamic, aerothermal, fluid–structure interaction, and tailored CFD work for engineering decisions.

Explore the decisions we support
  1. Aerodynamic Forces & Performance

    You need reliable forces, moments, stability, or performance data across configurations and operating points.

    Explore the decisions we support
  2. Aerothermal Loads & Protection

    Heating, hot-gas physics, or thermal-protection uncertainty is constraining a re-entry or propulsion design.

    Explore the decisions we support
  3. Wind-tunnel correlation

    Ground tests do not cover the complete operating envelope, or the difference between test and flight conditions must be understood.

    Explore the decisions we support
  4. Dynamic stability

    Separation, wakes, buffeting, or oscillatory motion may create loads and stability behaviour that steady analysis cannot resolve.

    Explore the decisions we support
  5. Industrial & Specialized CFD

    A pump, biofluid, transport, smoke, or natural-convection problem needs a workflow shaped around its particular physics.
