XFlow FAQs

XFlow is a SIMULIA high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics software solution that uses particle-based Lattice Boltzmann technology to simulate complex transient fluid behavior. It is particularly well suited to applications involving moving geometry, multiphase and free-surface flows, lubrication, and other highly dynamic fluid systems.

The Lattice Boltzmann Method is a computational fluid dynamics approach that models fluid behavior using particle distributions on a lattice rather than directly discretizing the Navier–Stokes equations. XFlow uses a particle-based kinetic formulation that enables inherently transient simulation and simplifies the treatment of complex geometry and moving components.

XFlow can be used for applications such as gearbox and powertrain lubrication, oil splashing, sloshing, free-surface flows, multiphase flows, moving machinery, rotating components, and other transient fluid problems where complex motion and changing fluid interfaces are important.
