Fluidic Mixing

Veryst has deep expertise in fluidic mixing processes, which we leverage for our clients across industries.  A fundamental aspect of mixing is the stretching and folding of the interface between initially separated substances.  This occurs in many forms a

Medical Devices

Veryst works with clients to develop high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable medical devices. We apply advanced characterization technologies, engineering analysis, and sophisticated simulation software to provide cost-effective solutions to time-critical engineering problems.

Microfluidics

Veryst offers a comprehensive approach to solving problems in microfluidic device development.  We employ an array of modeling tools, such as scaling arguments, analytical formulas, computational simulations, and laboratory testing to inform the design and integration of common components.

Multiphysics Modeling

Accurate simulation of many products now requires a multiphysics approach. Veryst Engineering specializes in multiphysics problems involving solids, fluids, heat transfer, mass transfer, acoustics, and electromagnetics. Our modeling and analysis expertise includes fluid-structure interaction, thermal-structure interaction, structural-acoustic vibrations, conjugate heat transfer, Joule heating, and microwave heating.

Specialized Expertise

Veryst engineers and scientists offer additional specialized expertise in a wide range of important areas, including the following fields.  In each case, we concentrate on meeting client need through the application of fundamental engineering science.

Species Transport

Veryst assists clients in addressing problems involving transport of species or chemical substances. Our experience includes transdermal drug delivery and permeability of polymer systems. We employ advanced computational methods which allow us to model the complex coupled interactions between solute concentrations and carrier material properties.

Thermal Analysis

Veryst offers clients consulting services in thermal modeling of both solid and fluid systems, including interactions between these systems. We employ state-of-the-art finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics methods both to analyze and visualize the thermal profiles within client systems. Our simulation capabilities also include hard-to-solve coupled problems, including the interactions between thermal and structural effects and fluid movements resulting from thermal gradients.
