REAH Labs

Engineering methods, made reusable.

REAH Labs contains the internal software, workflows, test systems and experimental technology developed through our engineering work. Labs shows the tools behind the work; Engineering Work shows the programme evidence.

In Development

REAH CFD Studio

Our internal simulation front-end: CAD upload, flow and heat setup, accuracy selection, solve and results review for internal- and external-flow cases. Used daily on our own engineering work.

Workflow — REAH CFD Studio

REAH CFD Studio setup screen showing aircraft model region selection and configured mesh checks before simulation01

Setup — model regions selected, mesh checks configured before the run.

REAH CFD Studio aircraft setup screen with propeller, rotor, wheel and heat-source regions assigned before simulation02

Regions — propeller, rotor, wheel and heat-source assigned on the model.

REAH CFD Studio surface-pressure view of an aircraft external-flow case with diagnostic aerodynamic coefficients and convergence warning03

Results — surface pressure and aerodynamic coefficients. This run did not fully converge; the tool flags it rather than hiding it.

REAH CFD Studio interface showing external-flow streamlines around an aircraft model with convergence warning and drag-result panels04

Streamlines — flow-field review for the same case, development output rather than validated aerodynamic data.

Rotax Cooling Toolkit development interface with airframe inputs, installation options, airflow schematic and thermal-capacity checks
In Development

Rotax Cooling Toolkit

Physics-based sizing of coolant radiators, oil coolers and ducts for Rotax-powered installations — a pass/fail verdict per check, with margins stated. Engineering estimate only; calibrated against test data before any certification use.

In Development

Aircraft thermal-system models

1D flow-network and heat-budget models of complete cooling installations, built to be correlated against ground- and flight-test data.

In Development

Engine-bay CFD workflows

Version-controlled, reproducible OpenFOAM case templates for engine-bay airflow, duct losses and recirculation assessment.

In Development

Flight-test data acquisition

Sensor, logging and telemetry packages for instrumented test campaigns on our flying laboratory.

Concept

Propeller-slipstream models

Actuator-disk and body-force models of slipstream interaction with cooling inlets and exits, for tractor and pusher configurations.

Concept

Experimental cooling components

Prototype ducts, inlets and cooler installations designed for instrumented evaluation on the flying laboratory.
