The aim of Optimad Engineering is to offer industry and aid to innovation in the pre-project stage. Traditional approaches introduce the high technology contents in the final stage of the project, when most of parameters have already been determined. Optimad Engineering has a large variety of techniques available that allow complex physical phenomena, such as flow instability, noise or loss effects due to three-dimensional movement, to already be taken into account during the pre-project stage. The technology offered by Optimad Engineering allows advanced optimization algorithms to be applied to fluid dynamic models.

Optimad Engineering products can be used, together with the fluid dynamic analysis software programs that customers already possess, to set up optimization processes based on both evolutionary and deterministic methods.

The innovative approach of Optimad Engineering towards fluid dynamics component design consist in introducing Inverse Design into the optimization cycle. The fluid dynamic magnitudes thus directly take on role of control parameters in the optimization process.

The product offered by Optimad Engineering in the capability to face the problem of the manipulation and control of non-stationary flows that are created below bluff bodies ( tractors, rear-wiew mirrors, civil buildings, etc.) and of aerodynamics surfaces in stall conditions (wings, wind generators, ruders and keels in the nautical field, etc.). Optimad Engineering is able to design or acts as an aid in the control of non stationary phenomena (separation of the boundary layer, release of vertical structures below bluff bodies) using both active and passive control techniques.

In the field of wind energy engineering, Optimad Engineering s.r.l. provides services for micrositing and design and optimisation of wind turbines and plants. With many years of activity in the field, Optimad can analyze historical anemometrical data for preliminary qualification and to evaluate the wind energy potential of the site. Highly qualified people can manage and fruitfully utilize general purpose codes, such as WindSim® and Star-ccm+®, as well as develop ad hoc software for any particular need. Optimad Engineering can precisely predict wind profiles on 3D digital ground models and optimize the wind farm layouts with the object to maximize the expected energy production. In partnership with other enterprises operating in the wind energy sector, Optimad executes feasibility studies and design of wind systems of any dimension, from small home installations, to big industrial plants. Moreover, continuous research activities allowed Optimad to develop techniques for short/medium term prediction of energy production of existing systems, based on meteorological forecast data, which can be easily acquired.
