Welcome to Lambda 2 | simulations
Lambda 2 offers consulting services in engineering simulations and analysis. Our services are divided in the following categories.
Numerical simulations
Problem solving, parametric studies and optimization applied to problems involving fluid dynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamics.
Examples of applications include turbines, aerodynamics, pumps, heating, ventilation, etc.
We have polyvalent software tools at our disposal allowing adapted solutions to your simulation needs (Siemens Star-CCM+®, Matlab®, etc.).
Training
Customized training in state-of-the-art flow modeling with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Significant expertise with OpenFOAM, ANSYS-Fluent®, ANSYS-CFX® and Siemens Star-CCM+® softwares.
Automation and web solutions
Support and development for the automation of your most time-consuming tasks (Microsoft Excel®, Matlab®). Simple web development solutions for online interfaces, web hosting and marketing.
