AeroSim

Design for the wind with confidence

High-fidelity CFD for structural engineers, facade consultants, and anyone designing against the wind - structural loads, facade pressure, and pedestrian comfort in hours, not weeks.

AeroSim solver web interface - urban wind study

Does wind affect your project?

Wind decides more of your project than you think

Structural loads, facade and glass, pedestrian and thermal comfort, air quality and natural ventilation, whether the project clears code - wind drives all of it. Caught late, it means redesigns, over-engineering, and delays.

Why AeroSim

The old way of answering wind falls short

A digital wind tunnel on your desk - high-fidelity LES/LBM CFD, GPU-accelerated - so you get realistic answers in hours, not weeks.

Physical wind tunnel

The old way

Inaccessible and costly, booked late, one shot, with scale effects.

With AeroSim

A digital wind tunnel you run early and as often as you need.

Manual / conventional CFD

The old way

Weeks of expert work end to end - setup, methodology, and running it, all of it slow.

With AeroSim

Hours, not weeks - guided end to end, with validated defaults.

Building codes / standards

The old way

They have limits - generic and conservative, and they don't cover complex geometry or terrain well.

With AeroSim

Case-specific high-fidelity answers that complement the codes.

Other CFD tools (RANS / FVM)

The old way

Not fast enough, not precise enough, and not enough mesh resolution.

With AeroSim

LES/LBM on GPU - high resolution and speed, with validated accuracy.

What our users are saying

"I have worked for years with OpenFOAM and other commercial software across various fields, including urban ventilation.


I constantly faced major challenges with inlet boundary conditions to model the ABL and turbulence intensities. However, all these difficulties disappeared once I started using AeroSim's software.


Thanks to a solver that is both robust and highly flexible, you can achieve outstanding results in many aspects - from pressure measurements to velocity profiles and turbulent parameters such as TKE, U(rms), and others.


Seeing my experimental data being perfectly reproduced by AeroSim's simulations brought me immense satisfaction as a researcher."
