Reduce Risk & Improve ROI

With Flownex Consulting’s depth of experience and leading fundamental engineering tools, we resourcefully and accurately support your development and manage your new products or even perform applied research, including the development of test facilities. Staying competitive in today’s dynamic market, requires companies to venture into the unknown and to cross the gap between leading edge research and practical industry implementation and Flownex Consultants can do just that for you.

Background

The Consulting team offer a wealth of Knowledge - a wide pool of in-depth experience - high level tools - Innovative exploration into new realms of cutting edge technology and engineering in thermal-fluid design and analysis.

Since 1987 Flownex Consulting has worked in the fields of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics as well as the design, build and operation of thermal-fluid systems. We apply decades of experience with our fundamental understanding of thermodynamics to utilise tools such as Computational fluid Dynamics (CFD), Flownex® SE or fundamental analytical solvers to provide industrial solutions to our client's needs.
