PASSAGE®/SYSFLOW
|
Overview
- PASSAGE®/SYSFLOW is a one
dimensional (1D) computational fluid dynamics software
for the prediction of flow network performance and system design
and analysis.
- PASSAGE®/SYSFLOW provides very useful information in
understanding the flow splits in branched flow passages and the
overall heat fluxes between components.
- Using 1D computational fluid flow software is a very efficient and a
relatively inexpensive tool for system analysis and design.
- PASSAGE/SYSFLOW program is fast, user-friendly and
effectively predicts performance in a variety of user-defined
networks.
- Steady state, compressible and incompressible flow network
problems can be solved including heat transfer effects.
- Virtually any flow network system and/or sub-system can be
modeled using combinations of components included in the
standard library.
- A numerical model such as PASSAGE/SYSFLOW fluid flow
program as a design and analysis tool serves as an invaluable
tool to study the flow and heat-transfer in complex systems and
to optimize the design process in a more cost effective and
timely fashion.

Features:
- An X-Windows based graphical User Interface provides a
user-friendly environment to build networks by interactively
adding various components.
- Existing components and their associated properties can be
modified, deleted and moved easily to change the network
characteristics or to build new networks from existing ones.
- The Post-Processor is a powerful graphical tool for the
result interpretation of pressure, velocity, temperature and
density.
- Components:
- Sources - fixed pressure or flows, pumps, fans
- Pipes - different geometries
- Fittings - contractions, expansions, bends, & junctions
- Valves - proportional, relief
- Heat Exchangers
- Filters
