Advanced fluid dynamics plays a critical role in the performance, safety, and efficiency of modern engineered systems. Stokes Creative Solutions provides high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) services to help clients understand, predict, and optimize complex fluid, thermal, and multiphysics phenomena across a wide range of industrial applications.

 Using state-of-the-art CFD tools, including ANSYS Fluent, CFX, Polyflow, and OpenFOAM—complex flow problems are modelled with a strong emphasis on physical accuracy and engineering relevance. CFD studies are routinely validated through experimental data, operational feedback, and implementation in commercial and industrial environments, giving clients confidence to make informed, low-risk decisions when modifying processes or designs.

 CFD support is provided throughout the whole project lifecycle, from early feasibility studies and concept development to detailed design, troubleshooting, and optimization. Experience spans energy, mining, aerospace, pulp and paper, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Exposure to diverse industries enables cross-pollination of ideas and the application of proven solutions to new and emerging challenges.

CFD services include:

• Single- and multiphase flow, including densely loaded granular flows

• Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid behaviour

•  Flashing flow and phase-change phenomena

•  Mixing, separation, and residence-time analysis

• Corrosion, erosion, and wear modelling

•  Incompressible, compressible, subsonic, and transonic flows

• Solids and powder flow modelling

• HVAC systems and data center/server room ventilation

• Forensic analysis and root-cause investigations

• Thermal analysis, combustion, and reacting flows

• Heat and mass transfer modelling

• Rotating equipment, moving bodies, and sliding interfaces

• Two-way fluid–structure interaction (FSI)

• Custom CFD model development to augment or replace commercial solvers

Successful products and machinery depend on strong mechanical design. Supported by analysis, Stokes Creative Solutions provides integrated finite element analysis (FEA) services for machine design, helping develop reliable, high-performance mechanical components and systems. Mechanical design services cover concept development, detailed engineering, and validation of components and assemblies that operate under static, dynamic, thermal, and cyclic loads. Advanced simulations are used early in the design process to reduce development risks, cut down costly redesigns, and speed up time-to-market.

 By combining practical engineering judgment with modern CAD and CAE tools, designs are optimized for strength, stiffness, durability, manufacturability, and lifecycle performance. Services support both new product development and the enhancement of existing equipment through redesign, troubleshooting, and reverse engineering.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is transforming how complex, high-value components are designed, analyzed, and produced. Stokes Creative Solutions provides engineering-driven additive manufacturing services that integrate design, simulation, and manufacturing knowledge to unlock the full potential of AM technologies.

 Support spans the entire AM workflow, from the initial concept and Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) to simulation-based validation, prototyping, and process development. Advanced CAD, FEA, and CFD tools are employed to optimise part geometry, internal structures, thermal behaviour, and mechanical performance, while accounting for AM-specific constraints such as residual stress, distortion, anisotropy, and surface finish.

 Additive manufacturing services are applied across energy, aerospace, industrial equipment, and advanced manufacturing sectors, allowing for light weighting, part consolidation, rapid iteration, and performance-driven design that traditional manufacturing cannot achieve methods.

• Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM).
  
  

• AM-optimized CAD modelling and part integration.

• Simulation of structure, thermal effects, and distortion for AM parts.
