Elsyca is committed to continuous innovation. We invest significantly in internal research and development. Our in-house team of developers and engineers uses the most advanced tools to create exciting new solutions and enhance existing ones.
Our ongoing collaboration with the VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussels) and the VKI (von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics) ensures that our customers have access to this unique knowledge and experience. This will help us to furthering the body of knowledge on electrochemical processes, and to improve the effectiveness of computer modeling as a design and analysis tool in general. Our partnership with the VUB and VKI is materialized through several major research projects.
VKI is an international institute for post graduate education and research in fluid dynamics, formed in 1956. The educational programme based on the concept of training in research by research includes a one year post graduate programme in fluid dynamics attended yearly by 30-35 students and a PhD research involving 25-30 candidates. Initially, research activities were essentially experimental and concentrated on aeronautical applications, but theoretical and later computational research rapidly developed and the research scope expanded to many non-aeronautical applications of industrial interest. Nowadays, computational activities cover more than 1/3 of the activities of VKI, involving 6 faculty or scientists with doctoral degree, more than 15 PhD candidates, 15 postgraduate students, about 3 research engineers and several postdoctoral researchers.
Many of the research activities carried out at VKI are supported by research contracts with industry, governmental institutions or international institutions (including CEC and ESA), in the area’s covered by its departments: Aerospace, Turbomachinery, Environmental, Applied Fluid Dynamics and CFD.
