Consulting, study and development services in CFD
NEMOSFLOW is a consultancy office proposing services in numerical fluid mechanics. The company has expertise in multiple sectors, thanks to a skill set around CFD. From simple advice to the most advanced modeling, through the development of specific applications, collaboration is possible concerning all processes related to this.
CFD as a tool to aid understanding and decision-making
A properly conducted CFD study goes far beyond simply running simulations and obtaining a few result fields. In general, NEMOSFLOW uses CFD tools to meet one of the following objectives: securing technical decisions, minimizing risks, and ensuring a thorough understanding of the process.
Securing technical, regulatory, or design decisions
Risk and cost reduction
Understanding and exploring the physics governing the process
Addressing these issues rigorously requires considerable expertise and sound judgment. NEMOSFLOW’s role is to analyze the relevance of the problem at hand, define an appropriate modeling strategy, identify numerical limitations and risks (quantification of uncertainties), and formulate actionable recommendations.
Proposed services
NEMOSFLOW offers several types of services, each tailored to a specific need.
CFD audits
Analysis of the problem at hand, review of physical assumptions and numerical strategy, identification of major risks, and clear recommendations.
Standard studies
Complete CFD studies, from needs analysis to implementation of appropriate solutions using a rigorous professional approach: modeling, simulation, validation, analysis, and reporting.
R&D developments
Development of new models or methodologies, analysis of existing codes or models, digital implementation, and scientific programming.
Knowledge transfer
Development of internal methodologies and training programs to enable companies to address CFD issues more independently.
Activity areas
The physics of flows is a vast field, and most sectors of activity have problems calling upon it. Thus, the services that I offer can cover all of these sectors.

Used tools
At NEMOSFLOW, CFD expertise is mainly based on the use of recognized open source software. This transparency, this access to sources helps to ensure the relevance of the results obtained, and to be part of a community wishing to share knowledge. Furthermore, the possible transmission of the methodologies developed is greatly facilitated. However, if you need to use other software, some commercial licences are available through our network of partners.
World-class CFD software, developed by OpenCFD (ESI) and the OpenFOAM community

Way to collaborate
To respond to any type of request, from well-defined specifications to a more exploratory problem, collaboration can be managed in several forms, by proposing the most appropriate offer for your needs. Most of the work is done remotely. NEMOSFLOW also has his own calculation server, and can rely on his network of partners if necessary.
Fixed price study
For well-defined specifications, a precise need, with deadlines and a well-established budget.
Technical assistance
For a temporary team reinforcement, the need for a particular skill for a given time, or an R&D type problem where the implementation of precise specifications is sometimes more complex.
Multi-year partnerships
To deal with new issues, R&D projects, with collaborations between companies, communities and research centers (FUI, ANR, consortia).
