Research, the engine of evolution
Our company was born to apply latest research to industry projects and continues to expand its known-how, developping new methodologies and adapting state-of-the-art techniques to our services. Compromised to identify and to research about the topics that can benefit our clients.
eureka!, a bridge between research and industry
Design, analysis and optimisation applied to wind energy
-
- Project: Internal
- Partners: eureka!, Department of Mechanics of the University of The Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Universidade de Vigo (UVigo)
- Outcome: Wind Energy Data Analysis, Design and Optimisation (wedado) in-house build multifidelity CAE framework. Specially oriented to wind energy projects, includes the workbenches needed to handle geometries, meshes, anlyses, cost, wind turbine and wind farm configurations and data analysis. wedado can acommodate ad-hoc design procedures, resolved using incorporated analysis capabilities to obtain Key Indicators of a design. The framework implements Design of Experiments techniques and optimisation procedures to reduce cost of the energy. eureka! is already applicating it!
10+ years of research implemented in an unique tool
On the automatization and research of CFD applied to hydrodynamics
-
- Project: Internal
- Partners: eureka!, EPHYSLAB, Universidade de Vigo (UVigo)
- Outcome: Numerical Hydrodynamics Lab (NHL), a highly automated module to replicate common tests and Ultimate Limit States in wave tanks, flumes and open sea conditions (complex waves and current profiles).
