Hanley Innovations

In 1988, after successfully defending my dissertation in fluid dynamics at MIT, I started teaching aerodynamics and compressible fluid dynamics at the University of Connecticut. This was also the dawning of the age of personal computers (PCs) with graphical user interfaces. I thought that if I could merge complex 3D aerodynamics (the realm of HPCs) with the ease-of-use and accessibility of the PC then students will learn faster! Design engineers will do a quicker job at developing awesome flying machines. To do this, I started Hanley Innovations, a leading developer of state-of-the-art aerodynamics and aerospace engineering software based on MS Windows operating system.

The PC is now grown up and getting faster and more powerful. They are essentially supercomputers with multi-core processing on your laptop or desktop. Our software has kept pace with these advances. The Stallion 3D Flow Solver takes advantage of multi-core processing in solving the 3D compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, the 3D laminar Euler equations 3D compressible Euler equations. Our software packages are complete and require no additional third-party tools for...
