Introduction

Who we are

FluidMechanica is a specialist team focused on hydraulic and CFD studies for water and wastewater systems. We combine practical project experience on large EPC schemes with advanced numerical modelling and data-driven methods.

Our team

Our engineers have extensive experience in water transmission, distribution, and treatment: from pump station design and surge protection to tank mixing, water-age analysis and drainage master planning.

  • Hands-on project experience for utilities and EPC contractors
  • Advanced CFD with ANSYS Fluent / CFX
  • Surge and transient analysis for complex pipeline systems

How we work

Each assignment is tailored to your questions. We provide clear engineering recommendations, together with plots and model files that your team can reuse and build into a digital twin.

  • Transparent assumptions and documented limitations
  • Operator-friendly summaries alongside technical detail
  • Data, models, and scripts delivered on request
What we do

Services provided

We support you with specialist analyses covering tanks, pump intakes, transmission mains, drainage networks and water-quality behaviour in distribution systems.

CFD studies of tanks

Three-dimensional CFD studies of service reservoirs, clear-wells and storage tanks to assess: COV, baffling factor, water age, temperature stratification, and disinfectant decay.

  • ANSYS Fluent / CFX modelling
  • COV and baffling factor calculations
  • Water-age and decay UDS / scalars
Tank mixing Water age

CFD for pump intakes

Pump intake and wet-well CFD to verify velocity distribution and swirl in accordance with Hydraulic Institute Standard 9 guidelines.

  • Velocity profiles at pump bells
  • Swirl / velocity angle assessment
  • Design modifications and comparison
ANSYS Fluent HI 9.8 checks

Surge & transient studies

Surge analysis for water-transmission systems: minimum and maximum pressure envelopes, surge-vessel sizing and check-valve behaviour.

  • WANDA, Bentley HAMMER and similar tools
  • Min / max pressure and HGL plots
  • Surge vessel sizing and check-valve slam checks
Surge protection MOC methods

Drainage & stormwater

Design and simulation of drainage and stormwater systems, including open-channel flow, flood checking and storm network design.

  • SWMM and InfoWorks ICM
  • Flood-risk assessment and mapping
  • Network layout and capacity checks
Flood studies Storm networks

Water-quality in networks

Network-scale water-quality studies for chlorine and by-products, including MSX-based multi-species analysis for chlorate and related parameters.

  • EPANET and MSX models
  • InfoWorks WS Pro / ICM integrations
  • Chlorine and chlorate profiling
MSX Digital twin support

Custom studies & R&D

Bespoke numerical and data-driven studies, including optimisation and reinforcement-learning pilots for smart dosing and energy-efficient operation.

  • Scenario testing and sensitivity studies
  • RL-based operational strategies
  • Support for academic and industrial R&D
Optimisation Reinforcement learning
