Aerodynamic characteristics greatly influence not only the performance of products, but can also have implications on the cost, safety and longevity of such products. Whether it’s reducing drag to improve fuel efficiency or ensuring structural integrity on a cell tower under high wind loading, properly accounting for the aerodynamics of products (or hydrodynamics in the case of liquids) is a critical component of the design process. Thoroughly vetting key design variables in a wind tunnel environment can be a challenge given the cost of testing, inability to produce sufficient speeds and lack of insight, thus resulting in a design not fully optimized for its purpose.
Our team of simulation specialists has years of experience in extracting the design insight and performance data from these types of applications to empower more innovative design solutions, compress development cycles and ensure confidence in aerodynamic performance prior to final validation testing.
