PASSAGE^®/FLOW Software

PASSAGE^®/FLOW is a general purpose three-dimensional finite element program used for the solution of fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems. Applications of PASSAGE/FLOW include a variety of product design and process development issues.

PASSAGE/FLOW can be used to analyze:

• liquids, gasses, and powders with free surface, melting/freezing and nonlinear material properties.
• flows in magnetic and electrical fields coupled with structural deformations.
• flows through complex stationary and rotating passages to determine flow losses and flow induced noise problems.

Together with PASSAGE^®/Sysflow, it can be used to provide a solution of component and system design issues for product and process design.

Together with PASSAGE^®/DEM, the software can be used to provide a solution of problems where micro- and macro-scale issues are combined.

A user friendly pre and post-processor is provided for the input of geometry and material properties, as well as displaying a variety of results in time.

Coupled equations of motions are solved for flow and heat transfer equations with a variety of nonlinear material properties.

Graphical user interface enables review of complex unsteady flow fields in detail.

Special features include phase change, free surface, and moving boundaries.

Software has been tested for the solution of many real world problems, and supported by numerous case studies.
