Why Elemental Numerics?

We don’t just use CFD. We develop it.

Our international award-winning engineering work is backed by deep expertise in numerical methods, solver development and advanced modelling. This has resulted in our own commericial-strength CFD software AlphaFlow, which is used by premiere industry worldwide.

Decades of R&D

Specialist expertise

Industry-led approach

Deep technical capability — applied practically.

Our AlphaFlow advantage

AlphaFlow gives us a differentiated route to fast, high-accuracy simulation for demanding multiphase problems.

This allows us to significantly shorten simulation turnaround, allowing more design iteration within a project and reducing the cost of reaching an engineering answer.

Faster turnaround

Decreased costs

More design iterations

Accuracy you can engineer around

Our modelling capability is supported by extensive verification and validation against experimental and benchmark data, giving clients confidence in the results used to inform engineering decisions.

High-fidelity results

Validated methods
