Our vision is that almost all engineering problems warrant careful review and analysis before costly numerical and/or experimental tools are employed.
Essential questions are:
-
what exactly is the formulation of the problem?
-
which independent parameters determine the solution of the problem?
-
can powerful estimates/insights be made based on theoretical analysis?
-
can numerical and experimental activities be drastically reduced by making use of dimension-analysis?
-
are the intended numerical/experimental models appropriate, valid and/or accurate?
We offer expert consultancy and analysis services in the fields of
-
fluid mechanics,
-
​heat transfer and
-
wave motion,
and tailor-made courses in these fields.
Furthermore, we offer support on reviewing and evaluating the quality, consistency and accuracy of existing theoretical, numerical and experimental data.
Finally, we can help companies to refresh, update or simply improve the knowledge and capabilities of employees in the fields of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and dimension analysis.
Hagmeijer Consultancy is committed to delivering expert engineering consulting services. We partner with clients to navigate through complex engineering problems and achieve optimal understanding and effective startegies to solve them.
Rob Hagmeijer studied Aeronautical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, and graduated in Theoretical Aerodynamics.
He started as a research engineer at the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR where worked for 13 years on space shuttle aerodynamics, heat transfer in gas turbines, and numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics. In those years he also received his PhD degree from the Delft University of Technology.
In the year 2000 he became an associate professor in the Engineering Fluid Dynamics group at the University of Twente where he worked on aero-acoustics, wave-guides, flows with condensation and several other topics in fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
During his 24 years employment at the University Rob gave a large range of courses in the above mentioned fields both at the bachelor and master levels, and he received the prize of ‘best teacher’ four times.
He retired in 2024 and now is the general manager of Associated Medical Engineers (AMES B.V.) that develops remote respiration-monitoring devices.
