FlowVision

FlowVision is a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software for modeling 3D laminar and turbulent steady and unsteady gas and liquid flows in compex geometries. Finite Volume approach forms the basis for the software numerical contents. High-accuracy numerical schemes, efficient numerical methods, and robust physical models guarantee reliable results. FlowVision is an easy to use CFD code with intuitively straightforward interface. The post-processor provides a user with up-to-date visualization methods and data processing tools.

Capvidia/TECÈÑ develops two versions of the software: sequential FlowVision 2.xx.xx and parallel FlowVision 3.xx.xx (or FlowVision-HPC). Besides that, it developes interfaces for integration other CFD, FEA, CAD/CAE systems.

FlowVision-HPC successfully operates on parallel computers with shared, distributed, and combined memory as well as on sequential computers and PCs.

Unique capabilities, modern underlying computer technologies, and outstanding support service enable FlowVision to successfully compete with well-known CFD codes.
FlowVision unique capabilities

• Three-in-one: pre-processing, solving, and post-processing in common interface
• Simple setup of simulation project
• Automated grid generation
• Dynamic grid adaptation to solution (splitting and merging cells)
• Body-fitted Cartesian meshes (natural truncation of Cartesian cells-boxes by complex curvilinear boundaries)
• Coupled calculations of body motion and free surface evolution (ships)
• Coupled calculations of body motion, body deformation, and free surface evolution (fluid-structure interaction modeled by means of two-way coupling with finite-element analysis (FEA) software Abaqus)
• Subgrid modeling of clearance flows on coarse meshes (compressors, turbines, pumps)
• Parallel visualization
• Plugins
