Fluid and thermal dynamics

Nuclear Thermohydraulics

Physical laws remain absolute across scales. We apply lumped parameter modelling and transient fluid analysis to resolve structural integrity challenges where tolerances are measured in microns.

Specialized in waste heat recovery, pebble bed modular reactors, and transient thermal-fluid analysis for high-consequence systems.

From analyzing high-temperature gas-cooled reactors to isolating extracellular vesicles, our methodology relies on mathematical rigor and empirical validation.
