When to involve our team
We start with your plant’s problem to define the technical scope.
- Temperature or velocity distributions cannot be measured throughout the installation.
- Geometry, ventilation or load arrangement changes need to be assessed.
- A simplified model needs to be compared with plant data.
- An investment decision depends on comparing operating scenarios.
What we deliver
Explicit assumptions, traceable calculations and recommendations linked to plant operation.
Model and assumptions
Geometry, boundary conditions and physical models suited to the problem.
Simulation quality
Convergence and mesh-sensitivity checks; comparison with available measurements.
Engineering interpretation
Temperature and flow fields, balances and comparison of alternatives, with documented limitations.
