FLUID4ENGINEERING

FLUID4ENGINEERING supports Designers, Naval Architects and Industries with CFD solutions and design optimization derived from America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race Technologies. FLUID4ENGINEERING is a company specialized in fluid dynamics, design and optimization. Professionals who collaborate in F4E have more than 10 years of experience in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with a specialization in marine and aerospace industries. F4E team members have done CFD consultancies to special racing sailing yacht projects such as: – Towing Tank test data analysis for Italian America’s Cup Syndicate (mono hull) – CFD hydrodynamic simulations for a new design VOR70 in Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 – CFD hydrodynamic simulations for a custom design C-Class Little America’s Cup 2013. – CFD hydro/aero simulations for the new era of America’s Cup foiling catamarans (multi hulls) F4E has a widely extended portfolio with projects done in different fields of the marine industry, with special focus on CFD hydrodynamic tests on motor yachts from 15 meters up to 180 meters, from large ships with low cruising speeds to small craft with cruise speed peaks of 60 knots and hulls with special devices for resistance reduction and forced ventilation. F4E staff takes care also of the custom design driven by CFD for special issues related the naval architecture of motor and sailing yachts. In the aerospace industry, F4E did special CFD consultancies for the design of: – Wing e Winglets per ULM airplane – Winglets per World Champion 2015 glider in FAI 13.5 metre Class – New wing design per 18m glider
