Pipe Flow Simulation
We offer professional consultancy services for pipe network analysis, pump sizing and pressure drop optimisation. Our goal is to simplify complex fluid systems, ensuring they are efficient, cost-effective, and fit for purpose. With our expertise, we assist engineers and designers in tackling challenges such as optimising pipe sizes, selecting the right pumps and resolving pressure drop issues. Whether you’re designing a new system or troubleshooting an existing one, we provide reliable and accurate solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Our pipe flow simulation services include:
- Pipe network analysis: evaluation of single and/or multi-loop networks
- Pump selection sizing: determine pump requirements, flow rate and head
- Pressure drop calculations: identify and minimise excessive pressure losses
- System balancing: ensure even flow distribution across complex networks
- Surge analysis: mitigate risks associated with water hammer or pressure surges
- Pipeline troubleshooting: solve flow issues such as cavitation or velocity imbalances

Fluid Structure Interaction
Fluid structure interaction (FSI) analysis is an advanced computational method used to investigate the interactions between fluid flow and solid structures. This analysis is vital in contexts where the dynamic behaviour of a fluid impacts a solid structure, or where the structural changes in a solid influence the fluid's behaviour. FSI analysis requires the simultaneous solution of the coupled equations that describe both fluid dynamics and structural mechanics, providing a detailed understanding of the intricate interactions between fluids and solids. Our FSI services include:
One-way coupling, where fluid forces are applied to the structure without considering structural deformation's impact on fluid flow, suitable for weak interactions.
Two-way coupling, where the fluid forces and structural response iteratively influence each other, necessary for accurately capturing complex interactions, typically used in strong coupling scenarios.
Our expertise extends to understanding phenomena from CFD to FEA and/or FEA to CFD.

Running a simulation is only part of the solution. Skilled simulation consultants understand that true value lies in conducting the right simulation analysis, extracting meaningful data, interpreting results correctly and linking them to the operational realities of a specific industry.
This is why industry experience matters. We focus exclusively on the chemical, energy, resources and water industries, particularly those involving complex fluids, where the risks are higher, the physics more intricate and the consequences more significant. Our results consistently show that real impact comes from combining simulation with deep engineering expertise and practical experience.
With over 50 years of combined experience in modelling and simulation, our team translates complex data into practical insights and actionable recommendations that solve real engineering problems.
