CFD, Wind & Energy

Wind, climate and energy usage, are all integral elements in the creation and sustainability of our built and natural environment. By using a range of numerical and physical modelling capabilities, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Wind Tunnel Testing, our world-renowned expert team is able to accurately model airflow, turbulence and heat transfer and undertake sophisticated weather and climate analysis.

We use this analysis to better understand the surrounding environment and the impacts developments may have, providing our clients with an innovative approach to ensure their design is correct the first time.

Overview

We provide cutting edge specialist building services and creative aerodynamic and thermodynamic solutions, design and design optimisation services for major buildings, environmental and industrial process engineering projects.

Our guidance is frequently used to assist in policy development, building design and approvals, urban and landscape design, land-use planning, water management and efficiency, coastal management, industrial application of CFD and insurance risk assessments.
