Assistance with technical narrative and budgeting for federal grants, when XFlow is one of the project's partners.
Designed, fabricated, and instrumented a carbon-fiber troposkein rotor on a sub-3-month timeline. Custom composite tooling and a multi-step layup process produced the curved blades within aggressive weight limits.
Custom in-rotor torque and thrust load cell with rotating-frame digital conversion, redundant water-exclusion sealing, and active thermal management for the enclosed-nacelle servo drive.
XFlow designed a flow conditioning system for a large recirculating tank, then fabricated and installed it at the customer site. CFD-guided design combining turning vanes, honeycomb, and wire mesh screens reduced turbulence intensity from 43.7% to 0.44% and improved uniformity index from 0.51 to 0.925, eliminating a large recirculating eddy that had dominated the test section.
XFlow developed the manufacturing process for PNNL's oil-filled urethane hydrophone flow shields, a precision void-free casting process that required significant process development to achieve acoustic transparency. Field testing confirmed the shields reduce flow noise by over 20 dB below 50 Hz at flow speeds above 0.5 m/s, attenuate propagating sound by no more than 2 dB below 30 kHz, and survived a 6+ month deployment in a tidal channel without degradation, and is ongoing.
