Computational Fluid Dynamics

Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis

Fluid flow shapes performance – from energy systems to HVAC, from automotive underbodies to industrial reactors. At Fabexco, we use advanced CFD simulation to solve real-world flow problems across a broad range of industrial sectors. Whether optimizing airflow in a heat exchanger, tracking particle transport in a filter, or predicting erosion in a slurry line, our CFD solutions deliver insight that drives smarter design, greater efficiency, and higher reliability.

We bring engineering rigor and simulation expertise to support everything from early-stage design decisions to final system validation – helping you reduce energy use, improve durability, and enhance performance.
