PowerFlow | High-Fidelity Lattice Boltzmann-Based CFD Software
PowerFlow is a leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that uses a unique, inherently transient Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to simulate complex fluid flow, thermal management, and aeroacoustics. It is particularly renowned for accurately predicting highly turbulent, unsteady flows in industries like automotive, aerospace, and building engineering.
Core Functionality Overview:
-
Transient Aerodynamic & Aeroacoustic Simulation: LBM-based solver excels at predicting unsteady flows, wind noise, and aerodynamic forces on vehicles and aircraft without the need for complex RANS modeling approximations.
-
Automated Meshing & Complex Geometry Handling: Features an automated, Cartesian-based voxel meshing approach that rapidly generates grids around complex geometries, significantly reducing pre-processing time.
-
Thermal Management & Multiphysics Analysis: Includes capabilities for conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations, underhood cooling, and pollutant dispersion, providing comprehensive environmental and thermal analysis.
