Overview
Fluidmapper is a Common Ground venture based in Montreal. The company has turned Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT), a measurement science built over four decades of academic research, into a fast, robot-assisted, AI-enabled platform that maps 3D flow inside opaque vessels such as chemical reactors and mixing tanks.
Where simulation relies on modeling assumptions, Fluidmapper measures. Each campaign delivers experimentally measured flow fields with confidence intervals, used for CFD validation, digital twins, process optimization, and training physics-informed AI models.
Founder
Fluidmapper was founded by a chemical engineer, Ph.D., trained at Polytechnique Montréal within the international RPT research community.
Who it serves
Four buyer groups: equipment manufacturers who need to prove performance, engineering firms and process operators optimizing existing vessels, simulation software developers validating their solvers, and AI model developers who need real experimental data rather than simulated output.
Common Ground’s role
Common Ground owns the Fluidmapper brand and go-to-market: the brand system, the website at fluidmapper.com, sales collateral for each buyer group, and the proposal system the company quotes from.
