PowerFLOW

The impact of change is least significant during the early phases of product development – in terms of both timing and budget. PowerFLOW, with its inherently transient Lattice Boltzmann-based physics solver, allows us to quickly and accurately predict real-world conditions prior to any physical prototyping.

PowerFLOW FAQs

PowerFLOW is a SIMULIA computational fluid dynamics software solution that uses the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to simulate complex, inherently transient fluid-flow behavior. It is widely used for applications such as aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, thermal management, rotating machinery, and other flows involving complex geometry and transient effects.

The Lattice Boltzmann Method is a computational fluid dynamics approach that models fluid behavior using the evolution and interaction of particle distributions on a lattice. Unlike traditional CFD methods that directly discretize and solve the Navier–Stokes equations, LBM provides an inherently transient approach that can be especially effective for complex geometries, moving components, and unsteady flow phenomena.

PowerFLOW is commonly used for vehicle and aircraft aerodynamics, wind noise and aeroacoustics, thermal management, HVAC performance, rotating fans and wheels, cooling airflow, and other applications involving complex transient fluid flow. It is particularly well suited to transportation, aerospace, and other industries where realistic geometry and unsteady flow behavior are important.

Yes. PowerFLOW can be used to predict transient flow structures that generate aerodynamic noise and can be coupled with SIMULIA acoustic tools for detailed aeroacoustic analysis. Typical applications include vehicle wind noise, cooling-fan noise, HVAC noise, aircraft noise, and other flow-induced acoustic problems.
