Combustion Research and Flow Technology, Inc. (CRAFT Tech) is a rapidly growing small business that specializes in fluid dynamics related R&D activities supporting DoD, NASA and both Aerospace and Commercial organizations. Our headquarters are located in Pipersville, PA and we have satellite offices in Huntsville, AL, Norfolk, VA, and Charlotte, N.C.
Our speciality is the high-fidelity computational simulation of complex fluid dynamic and combustive problems on large-scale, parallel architecture computers. Technology sectors we support include missiles, aircraft/rotorcraft, propulsion/turbomachinery, weapon systems and effects, and industrial problems. We also perform fundamental research in CFD, grid adaption, aeroacoustics, turbulence, combustion and multi-phase flow.
We provide both contractual and consultive services support to government and industry, including on-site services. CRAFT Tech® developed computer codes, CRAFT CFD® (structured grid) and CRUNCH CFD® (multi-element unstructured grid) contain advanced turbulence models, gas-phase and heterogeneous combustion capabilities, and both gas/liquid and dispersed phase (Eulerian and Lagrangian) multi-phase capabilities. Our codes have been specialized for varied applications and are licensed to a number of organizations.
