VIRTUAL HYDRO-/WIND-TUNNEL TESTING
CFD can provide “Virtual Hydro-/Wind-Tunnel” Testing, where…
We sweep your NACA foil, windsurfing fin, airframe feature, entire vehicle prototype, or similar… through a range of Angles of Attack (AoA), in various mediums (cold air, warm air, high/low altitudes, saltwater, freshwater, etc.), to report the lift and drag properties.
These results are generally faster, cheaper, and more reproducible than live tunnel tests (which often use scaled bodies, scaled fluid flow, test fixturing, load corrections, etc.)
