Mclaurin’s core competency in computational fluid dynamics has broad reach into a wide array of systems and flow regimes. Our team has earned a reputation for applying the most efficient solution to address the problem at hand, often at a significant cost savings. We maintain our own 700+ core in-house high-performance computing facility to address sponsor needs.
Extensive experience in model validation lends credibility to our solutions. Applications include:
- External and Internal Aerodynamics
- Rapid generation of force and moment databases
- Time-accurate moving-body event simulations (staging, store separation)
- Real gas effects
- Aerothermal analysis
- Ascent venting and internal environment predictions
- Commercial CFD code development
- Internal and Vibro-Acoustic Analysis
- Finite Element Methods
- Hybrid FEM-SEA Analysis
- Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA)
- Scaling Methods
