text: The company was founded in 1975 by Robert Gielow and James Paul, two Professional Engineers with backgrounds in the aerospace industry.  They quickly realized that the analysis techniques they applied to projects such as the Apollo program Moon rockets and commercial aircraft design could be used to advance a wide variety of other industries.  Early years of the company were focused on aerodynamic optimization of vehicles such as cars, tractor trailers, and rail cars to minimize drag and fuel consumption.  This work involved both wind tunnel testing and numerical simulation.
  In the 1970s and 1980s, ASC developed a range of simulation software for potential flow and viscous flow analysis, writing its own CFD solver (VISCOUS).  The capabilities of this cartesian-based CFD software eventually included advanced physics such as combustion, particulate transport and drying simulations, time-dependence, and convection/conduction/radiation heat transfer.  In the 1990s and early 2000s, ASC personnel developed a new CFD software package, AzoreCFD, featuring a modern, polyhedral based solver in order to analyze highly complex geometries and physics.  Azore development continues with new features and simulations capabilities incorporated to allow more unique flow problems to be analyzed.
  In addition to simulation of flow and heat transfer, ASC has advanced its field testing capabilities on a regular basis over the years.  Many of the tests ASC is requested to perform are new or unique, requiring development and fabrication of custom flow measurement equipment.  Today's testing capabilities include velocity, temperature, pressure, particulate sampling, gas species and emissions, and more.
