Hydraulic & CFD consulting for real networks – not textbooks.
FluidMechanica provides specialist engineering support for water utilities, consultants, and EPC contractors, delivering advanced studies across the full lifecycle of water-transmission and distribution systems. Our expertise covers water-network design, pump sizing, control-valve sizing, water-quality modelling (including EPANET MSX), tank mixing and water-age analysis, pump-intake CFD, surge and transient analysis, and drainage and stormwater network modelling. We take on projects across the UAE, the broader GCC region, and globally — supporting clients worldwide with surge- and transient-flow studies, water-network modelling, and hydraulic / CFD engineering services.
We apply industry-leading simulation tools across all services:
- CFD – ANSYS Fluent / CFX
- Surge – WANDA, Bentley HAMMER
- Drainage – SWMM, InfoWorks ICM
- Water quality – EPANET, MSX
From concept design to detailed optimisation of existing assets and operating strategies.
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
Services provided
We support you with specialist analyses covering tanks, pump intakes, transmission mains, drainage networks and water-quality behaviour in distribution systems.
Surge analysis
Surge and transient analysis for water-transmission systems, including minimum/maximum pressure envelopes, surge-vessel sizing, check-valve behaviour and mitigation options.
- WANDA, Bentley HAMMER and similar tools
- Min / max pressure and HGL plots
- Surge vessel sizing and check-valve slam checks
CFD studies – tanks & pump intakes
Three-dimensional CFD studies of service reservoirs, clear-wells, storage tanks and pump intakes to assess mixing, water age, COV, baffling factor, stratification, velocity distribution and swirl.
- ANSYS Fluent / CFX simulations
- COV, baffling factor and water-age calculations
- Velocity profiles and swirl assessment at pump bells
Water network design & water quality
Hydraulic design and modelling of water networks in steady state and water-quality mode, including chlorine decay, MSX species, and distribution system performance.
- EPANET and InfoWorks WS Pro models
- Transmission and distribution network design
- Chlorine and by-product profiling using MSX
Drainage & stormwater networks
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, pipe sizing and capacity checks
Water network optimisation (AI & digital twin)
Operational optimisation of water networks using AI, reinforcement learning and digital-twin style modelling to improve pressure management, energy use and water quality.
- RL-based operational strategies and pump schedules
- Scenario testing and sensitivity studies
- Support for academic and industrial R&D projects
Custom studies & specialist reviews
Bespoke numerical and data-driven studies, design reviews and model audits for complex systems that do not fit standard templates.
- Independent design and model review
- Data analysis and performance benchmarking
- Tailored support for utility and EPC teams
