About (sequential) FlowVision 2.õx.õx

Sequential FlowVision is being developed since 1991. It proved itself to be a reliable instrument for a designer and received recognition among Russian and western engineers:

On December 26, 2005, FlowVision 2.xx.xx has got Certificate of conformance with GosStandart of Russia N POCC RU.ME20.H01223.

Simulation capability

• 3D steady and unsteady flows of incompressible or compressible fluid
• Laminar and turbulent flows
• Turbulence models:
  • different k-ε models
  • SST k-ω model
  • Spalart-Allmaras model
• Convection-diffusion transfer of scalar quantities and their fluctuations
• Motion of free surfaces
• Moving bodies
• Lagrangian particles (solid, bubbles, droplets)
• Gas-phase premixed or not premixed combustion
• Two-phase combustion
• Surface-to-surface radiation
• Gas radiation
• Conjugate heat exchange
• Different boundary conditions including time-dependent ones
• Sliding meshes
• Substance database

Computational mesh

• Direct import of CAD/FEM geometry: VRML, STL, INP- ABAQUS
• Indirect import of CAD/FEM geometry (via 3DTransVidia): DEFORM, ABAQUS, ANSYS and NASTRAN, IGES, VDAFS and PARASOLID, CATIA V4/V5, Pro/E, UGS
• Easy grid definition followed by fast automatic grid generation
• Sub-Grid Geometry Resolution (SGGR) method: resolution of curve-linear surfaces of arbitrary complexity achieved by natural truncation of hexahedral cells by triangulated surfaces
• Refinement of grid within a volumetric object and near a geometry surface
• Automated dynamic grid adaptation to solution (splitting and merging cells according to pre-defined adaptation criteria)
• Automated dynamic grid adaptation around a moving body (splitting and merging cells)

Pre-processor

• Selection of flow model
• Definition of substances
• Specifying model and method parameters
• Definition of initial and boundary conditions, interactive assignment of boundary conditions to geometry surfaces
• Definition of initial mesh

Post-processor

• Vectors on plane or geometry surface
• Isolines on plane or geometry surface
• Color contours on plane or geometry surface
• Cutting planes
• Animated motion of different markers
• Integration of variables over cross-section or geometry surface
• Local characteristics
• On-line visualization of results in the course of calculations
