For problems that don't come in a box.

Not every problem needs custom code. But some outgrow their packages, and some never had one to begin with. That's where we work.

OrchardNumerical is a principal-led consultancy, founded by Colin McNally, Ph.D., doing numerical and computational work: building workflows, solving problems that don't fit standard tools, and producing results that can withstand scrutiny and be trusted. We work with deep-tech startups, small firms without an in-house numerics person, and research groups bringing in outside computational capacity.

Curveballs in space go backwards

Why the Magnus effect inverts in rarefied gas, the math behind the sign flip, and the tangled history of its three independent rediscoveries since the Sputnik era.
