bionic surface technologies
Bionic Surface Technologies GmbH (BST) is a company that specializes in high-tech computational analysis. BST uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools and has developed micro-structured surfaces called riblets to reduce friction flow on aerodynamics surfaces such as the wings of airplanes.
Technologies and competences
BST provides two types of products/services. One product is a nano/microstructured foil (riblet foil) which reduces the drag in a fluid (air, gases or water) up to 8%. Tests were done with aircrafts (Single-seater), industrial and water applications (pipes, surfboards). As an expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation, BST provides also high quality CFD-analyses for several industries.
