“The ability to accurately design, simulate and optimize complete integrated thermal fluid systems quickly and efficiently will give you the competitive advantage.”

Whether you are working in a high-tech thermal-fluid environment or designing simple fluid handling systems, the ability to accurately simulate, optimize and design complete integrated thermal-fluid systems quickly and efficiently will inarguably give you the competitive advantage.

Gone are the days of using a multitude of complicated and costly engineering tools to perform design, optimization or simulation exercises. Modern thermal-fluid engineering requires a systems approach so that the response of the complete system, including the integrated sub-systems, can be considered when making decisions.

Flownex Provides simultaneous integrated simulation of Thermal fluid, Electrical and Control Network solvers all in a single open architecture package.

Flownex® Simulation Environment is a world-class solution, specifically designed to provide exactly this capability. Flownex® features an intuitive graphical user interface providing access to not only a powerful and robust flow solver, but also an electrical and DCS library and the ability to add on your own libraries and components. Flownex® is backed by the extensive thermal-fluid system analysis and design experience of its creators. Flownex® is a world class product developed within an ISO 9001 and ASME NQA1 accredited quality system! The fact that Flownex® is extensively Validated and Verified (V&V) and not only developed in a quality system, is one of the big differentiators of Flownex® ahead of its competitors. Flownex® is supported by a dedicated team providing the necessary support and training.

Product Overview
Flownex is a systems CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code that enables users to perform detail design, analysis and optimization of a wide range of thermal-fluid systems ranging from simple pipe networks to complex systems such as gas turbine engines or combined cycle power plants.

“Systems CFD” refers to the approach where component models with different levels of complexity ranging from analytical models or lumped models to 1D, 2D or even 3D CFD models are linked together in a network to represent a complex system.

Flownex’s solution algorithm resembles that of a conventional CFD code. The system is discretized into a number of spatial or conceptual control volumes to which a set of conservation equations are applied and then solved.

Distinguishing features of Flownex are:

• it’s ability to deal with both steady-state and dynamic problems,
• it’s ability to deal with both single phase and two-phase fluids,
• it’s ability to deal with very large networks and
• its speed of execution.
