Choosing a CFD Consultancy

In the current engineering landscape, the appeal of high-quality flow visualisations can often obscure the technical accuracy behind them. A critical challenge when selecting a CFD consultancy is distinguishing between superficial visual outputs and rigorous, high-quality simulations.

To obtain project success and data reliability, it is essential to evaluate a CFD consultancy based on the following criteria:

• Technical Accuracy: The ability to provide validated, predictable results rather than purely aesthetic visualisations.
• Software Proficiency: The use of industry-standard, high-fidelity software such as STAR-CCM+.
• Disciplinary Expertise: Deep-seated knowledge in the specific hydrodynamic and aerodynamic requirements of the marine sector.
• Regulatory Alignment: The capacity to support designs that comply with increasing global emissions and air pollution standards.
