Products and Services

Science and Engineering Education: A significant portion of our business has become the development of conceptual learning systems in science and engineering with an emphasis in methods supporting the needs of pre-college students.

Multimedia computer applications: The development and production of interactive multimedia materials to address the specific needs of the end users. CAI supports a multimedia computer laboratory of Apple, PC and SGI workstations utilized for color graphics, animation, video processing and CFD research.

Project Management: The development and delivery of system and implementation plans, as well as consulting and providing management support for mechanical and aerospace engineering applications.

Computational Fluid Dynamics: Computational mathematical model support for a wide range of sports, mechanical and aerospace simulations including all regimes of air and water flow. Research and development into performance enhancements in grid generation and flow solvers is supported internally. CAI's engineering and research specialty is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD has been likened to a "portable wind tunnel". Prior to the 1960's scientists and engineers had two methods of studying the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) around a vehicle (aircraft, spacecraft, submarine, heart pump) which was through experimentation and theory. With the advent of powerful computers it has become possible to simulate these flows based on a set of rigorous mathematical equations. CFD results should match existing experimental data and predict flows that have not been created experimentally.
