Other Activities
PAX Scientific is an engineering research and development company. Our core R&D team studies the fundamental mathematics and fluid dynamics underlying the PAX Streamlining Principle. Through our observation and analysis of natural flow, we optimize streamlining geometries for appropriate fluid-handling applications. PAX studies fluid flows using both CFD numerical methods and analytical methods derived from generally accepted engineering laws and practices. We also use in-house and external experimental testing to validate our numerical methods and ensure that performance is fully optimized. Current research has been leveraged into commercial applications for specific fan, mixer, and thermal applications. Other research applications under investigation include aerospace drag reduction, pumps, and marine applications.

Aerospace
To learn more about the drag reduction challenges facing the aerospace industry, PAX has partnered with industry experts. Working with fluid dynamics consultants at Stanford University as well as other research centers, our engineers are simulating ways that biomimicry may be able to reduce tip vortices and drag for a variety of aerospace applications. We are also performing CFD simulations to study the surface profiles of wings and wingtips.

Marine Applications
Building on CEO Jay Harman’s previous work on hull design for his award-winning watercraft Goggleboat and WildThing, PAX has performed CFD simulations on marine surface profiles. The company is currently developing watercraft prototypes that use the PAX Streamlining Principle to optimize surface profiles. Additionally, PAX is working with industry consultants to continue its development of marine propulsion technologies.
