NablaFlow | AeroCloud | CFD for 3D aerodynamic insights

streamlined & flexible

Upload your 3D models, submit simulations, and quickly access results, all with just a few easy steps. Our flexible algorithms will do the rest. AeroCloud is a ground-breaking cloud service CFD tool. It is easy to use and features flexible capabilities for meshing, simulation, post-processing, and visualization – all accessible from the web

results within hours

High-quality CFD is computationally intensive. Using cloud computing services, we allocate the computational resources required to bring you results within hours. AeroCloud is the cloud computing solution that allows you to easily distribute your CFD workload without having to worry about hardware limitations.

validated

Our team is dedicated to the science of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and aerodynamics. We provide a fast and reliable service for accurate numerical simulation of external aerodynamics. Our setup is validated against wind tunnel experiments for multiple applications, and scientific articles have been published in scientific journals

run aerodynamic analysis with ease

AeroCloud is providing useful aerodynamic insights in a seamless and fast workflow. It builds on our combined experience with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and aerodynamics gathered through more than ten years of research and consultancy work. AeroCloud enables you to explore the aerodynamic properties of your designs in detail without the need for a professional consultant, reducing both development costs and cycle times.

Workflow

advanced technology – simple workflow

Our cloud simulation platform is designed to simplify the process of setting up and running aerodynamic simulations. All you need to do is provide five inputs:

3D model(s) in .stl or .obj file format
A description of your test case
Relative wind speed
Ground plane on or off
Yaw angle(s) if applicable

Our flexible algorithms will take care of everything else and deliver post-processed results within a few hours.

results

flexible and detailed result presentation

AeroCloud provides detailed results in the format of your choice. The interactive result webpage offers 3D plots, 2D visualizations, and graphical presentations of the results. A comprehensively written report is available for pro-simulations, including descriptions of derived parameters, tabularised global data, charts, and figures.

If you prefer to store data or perform some post-processing yourself, an excel spreadsheet with the global results is also available for pro-simulations.

Insight

enable data-driven decisions

Unlock the true power of CFD by studying the flow fields and surface fields to gain deeper insight into the aerodynamic performance. AeroCloud provides post-processed results visualizing the flow field and useful aerodynamic parameters in both 2D and 3D:

Pressure fields
Streamlines
Recirculation zones
Wall shear stress
Force distributions along each axis

You can use these insights to make design decisions and optimize aerodynamic performance.

Applications

do your own thing

AeroCloud is developed with subsonic external aerodynamics in mind. Within this scope, there are probably possible applications beyond our imagination. The flexibility of the meshing algorithms makes it tackle complex geometries and flows over a large range of Reynolds numbers. Whether it’s a cyclist or an array of solar panels, AeroCloud is up for the job.
