Company Profile

Thermofluids is the study of fluid flow and heat transfer. In very many engineering applications as well as in nature, thermofluid phenomena are the main processes by which systems operate. Examples vary from the flow of blood through the heart, through the deposit of chocolate into a mould to the heating of the space shuttle as it re-enters the atmosphere. Understanding and controlling thermofluid phenomena is key to the successful engineering function.

Since 1987, S & C Thermofluids has strived to provide fast flowing solutions to thermofluid challenges in engineering. The company combines its range of engineering tools - both computational and experimental - with the expertise of its engineers to develop engineering products and systems.

 

Design

Analyse

Innovative ideas take shape on screen using Computer-Aided Design packages, creating 3D models of the item being developed.

S & C uses multi-purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics packages to a wide range of applications and undertakes consultancy in CFD modelling as well as providing codes for external use.

The current day rate for CFD and Design work is £1005.
