About us

Our approach makes the difference

Hydronumerical Consultancy Services (HCS) is a young engineering consulting company. We are experts in applying numerical modeling techniques to produce actionable insight into many kinds of engineering problems related to fluids.

At HCS, we don't just blindly build models; we implement a problem-first approach.

Under this approach, the focus is first on understanding what the engineering questions are that need answering. We then evaluate what processes and scales need to be represented in order to answer those questions as simply and accurately as required. Finally, we pick the best modeling software for the job. Sometimes this is a license-free or commercial software; but sometimes a custom modeling solution is needed.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

Fluvial and coastal modeling

We build accurate simulations of riverine and coastal systems at multiple scales.

Depending on the problem at hand, we use 1D, 2D or 3D models to represent:

River hydraulics.
Flood propagation.
Dam break analysis.
Coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics.
Sediment transport.

We use state-of-the-art software like Delft3D, TELEMAC, Mike+, and HEC-RAS, along with our own in-house tools.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling

We provide detailed fluid dynamics analysis for civil infrastructure, machinery and industrial processes.

Our CFD services include:

Analysis of flow around structures.
Optimization of hydraulic elements.
Intake/outfall design.
Dynamic mesh simulations.
Oil & Gas simulations.

Powered by OpenFOAM & tailored in-house tools. We have both the expertise and the computational resources to run large-scale CFD simulations efficiently, either on our in-house servers or in a High-performance cluster.

Water Quality Modeling

Water Quality modeling allows to track the movement, transformation and fate of pollutants in surface waters.

We model processes such as:

Contaminant modeling.
Dissolved Oxygen - BOD dynamics.
Nutrient dispersion.
Thermal plumes.

We use advanced software like Delft3D, DELWAQ and ECOLAB to model water quality processes.

Hydrology

We do watershed-scale modeling of rainfall-runoff and surface flows.

Our hydrology services include:

Urban & rural catchments.
Surface water-ground water interaction.

We use state-of-the-art software like HEC-HMS, SWMM, and our own in-house tools to model hydrological processes. According to the project needs, we use lumped models (HEC-HMS, NAM) or distributed ones (Modflow, Mike SHE, Itzí, SWMM).
