Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a reliable, cost-effective tool for solving many complex flow-related problems involving liquid and gas flows, hydraulic flows, heat and mass transfer, and particles and sprays. The engineering staff of Alden's Numeric Modeling Group offers decades of combined experience in CFD modeling and simulation of flow-related problems from a wide range of industries, as well as considerable experience in physical modeling, testing, and field study. This unique combination of computational expertise with over a century's worth of experience in physical flow modeling can be applied in concert to provide cost-effective, practical solutions to your flow problems.

Examples of applications of numeric modeling and simulation include:

 

  • Air pollution control equipment
  • Fish passage and protection
  • Industrial flow processes
  • Power generation
  • Water and wastewater management
  • Hydraulic structures
  • River mechanics
  • Turbomachinery

 

The Numeric Modeling Group provides services to a broad range of clients, as well as meeting the numeric modeling needs of Alden’s Environmental, Hydraulic Modeling, Air & Gas Flow Modeling, and Flow Meter Calibration Groups.
