Expertise: Fluid Dynamics & CFD

Fluid Dynamics is an area of Mechanical Engineering that deals with the manipulation of liquids or gasses.  The field comes up in many different Product Engineering scenarios:

• Electronics Cooling usually requires the motion of air over hot components or over a housing.  Even “free convection” requires air to move due to heating.
• Many Medical Devices require liquids to be  measured, conveyed, or mixed in precise volumes.
• Many of the Instruments that Porticos has designed measure the properties of a gas or liquid by inducing flow, or by controlling and predicting it.

Much progress can be made with conventional engineering tools: calculation and testing.  But Porticos has expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which allows us to simulate complex fluidic systems.
