RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Our research.
A closer look at the flow.
In-house CFD R&D and selected scientific studies in unsteady aerodynamics, turbulence and coupled flow–motion dynamics.
OUR R&D PROGRAMME
Research questions.
Computational evidence.
Our in-house programme investigates unsteady flow physics, assesses numerical models and develops reproducible simulation workflows.
Unsteady aerodynamics
Investigating transonic shock buffet, separated flow and time-dependent loads through numerical sensitivity studies and cross-code comparison.
Turbulence & models
Examining turbulence response, anisotropy and energy transfer, with DNS and filtered diagnostics supporting model assessment.
Methods & HPC
Developing reproducible simulation workflows and evaluating computational scalability, resolution requirements and the cost of high-fidelity research.
HPC RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
From two-dimensional studies to three-dimensional shock-buffet research.
Our planned OpenFOAM benchmarking evaluates parallel performance, throughput and computational cost to support three-dimensional shock-buffet investigations.
