BAR has the capability, expertise and facilities to carry out a wide variety of applied problem solving and research services. For example:
- Internal air flow optimisation in operating theatres and clean rooms
- Steady state wind modelling around and inside buildings
- Natural ventilation thermo fluid Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling
- External flows over buildings and exhausts
- Smoke modelling and dispersion studies
- Heat exchanger optimisation
- Power quality
- Internal pollution level computational fluid dynamic modelling
- Aerodynamic fluid modelling
- Particle dispersion modelling
- Product design services
- Design guide studies
In addition to project specific research and design solutions, BAR are also developing longer-term strategic research projects that bring together expertise from a wide variety of disciplines including industry, universities and the CSIRO. These types of research projects enable BAR to step aside from the pressures of project work and make innovative developments over a longer time period.
