INNOVATIVE CFD FOR SUPER-COMPUTER RESULTS ON YOUR DESKTOP XFlow is a next generation CFD software that uses a proprietary, particle-based, meshless approach which can easily handle traditionally complex problems.
For engineers and analysts who require quick and accurate feedback on flow, thermal, and acoustic behaviour, XFlow is a CFD software that provides you with the ability to solve problems involving moving boundaries, free surface and fluid-structure interaction on complex geometric domains. BENEFITS Improves solution efficiency XFlow is a next generation CFD software that dramatically improves the solution quality vs time-to-solution trade-off. Reduces implementation cost XFlow follows a particle-based approach to the Computational Fluid Dynamics which is extremely easy to set up and use, and which significantly reduces training and support costs. Reduces hardware requirements XFlow s innovative approach allows complex problems to be solved on standard modern desktop computers, removing the need for large clusters or HPC systems. Best-in-class technology XFlow s advanced techniques easily handle traditionally complex problems such as aero-acoustics, moving parts, free surface flows and fluid-structure interaction. www.xflowcfd.com Next Limit 2011.

KEY FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGIES Meshless approach The meshless approach within XFlow is particle-based and fully Lagrangian which means that classic fluid domain meshing is not required. Also surface complexity is not a limiting factor, XFlow can handle moving bodies and deformable parts, and is tolerant to the quality of the input geometry. Particle-based kinetic solver XFlow features a novel particle-based kinetic algorithm that solves the Boltzman and the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The solver features state-of-the-art LES (Large Eddy Simulation) modeling, and advanced non-equilibrium wall models. Advanced modeling capabilities XFlow is capable of handling large and complex models, and greatly simplifies the setup of analysis with moving parts, forced or constrained motion, and contact modeling. Advanced analysis capabilities XFlow s solver also features thermal analysis, conjugated heat transfer, radiation, transonic and supersonic flows, flow through porous media, non-newtonian flows, discrete phase model and complex boundary conditions such as porous jump and fan models. Adaptive wake refinement XFlow automatically adapts the resolved scales to the user s requirements, refining the quality of the solution near the walls and dynamically adapting the resolution to the wake while the flow develops. Single consistent wall model XFlow uses a unified non-equilibrium wall function in order to model the boundary layer. This wall model works in all cases, meaning that it is not necessary to select between different algorithms and deal with the different limitations of each scheme. Near-linear scalable performance XFlow is fast and efficient, even on a standard desktop PC. High performance computers are not required. XFlow is fully parallelized for multi-core technology with near-linear scalability. Easy to use interface XFlow provides a unique and novel interface and working environment for the user - including pre-processor, solver and post-processor fully integrated in the same environment, state-ofthe-art visualization, and configurable layout.
