ADVERTORIAL


physical prototypes take time and resources to produce. Each variant requires tooling, materials and assembly before it can be tested, naturally limiting design exploration to three or four concepts when you’d ideally evaluate ten or fifteen. CFD removes this constraint. Quick, repeatable virtual tests let design teams explore a far broader design space before committing to physical prototypes. Testing different wheel profiles under various yaw angles, for instance, can reveal subtle differences in stability and drag that would be impractical to explore with physical models at the early concept stage. This winnowing process is where CFD delivers genuine value: filtering out underperforming variants early, identifying which variables actually matter, and arriving at the wind tunnel with only the most promising candidates ready for physical validation. It transforms tunnel testing into precision


validation and refinement, where real-world measurements confirm and refine the insights gained virtually. In the end, tools like Bramble CFD represent a broader cultural change in the industry, one where advanced simulation becomes as routine as CAD modelling. It’s about giving designers the freedom to experiment, test the unconventional, and bring better products to market sooner, with confidence grounded in data, and wind tunnel time focused where it matters most. 
