Case Study: Boundary Layer Technologies accelerates hydrofoil ship design with Rescale

Boundary Layer Technologies accelerates hydrofoil cargo design with Rescale and cuts travel time by 2x

Boundary Layer Technologies, a startup designing hydrofoil cargo ships, faced the challenge of creating complex simulations for a new class of vessel without the internal IT infrastructure or hardware to support such computationally intensive work. They needed access to the latest software, like Ansys Fluent, and significant computing power to handle large-scale designs and optimize for effects like cavitation.

Using the Rescale platform, the team gained simplified, on-demand access to high-performance computing and the latest software updates, eliminating installation and management overhead. This allowed the small, agile startup to focus on design innovation rather than infrastructure. Rescale enabled Boundary Layer Technologies to accelerate their design process, create simulations that were previously impossible on local desktops, and efficiently work toward their goal of revolutionizing sustainable transport.
