FLOW-3D is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software developed by Flow Science, Inc. According to the vendor, it is specifically designed to model and simulate free-surface flows, providing engineers and scientists in various industries with a valuable tool for analyzing complex fluid dynamics problems. FLOW-3D is said to be suitable for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. Professionals in industries such as aerospace, maritime, biotech, renewable energy, mining, and automotive rely on FLOW-3D to analyze and solve fluid dynamics challenges.

## Key Features

**Flexible Simulation Capabilities**: According to the vendor, FLOW-3D offers engineers and scientists the ability to model and analyze a wide range of fluid dynamics problems, including complex free-surface flows, moving objects, and fluids with different properties.

**Advanced Physics Models**: The vendor claims that FLOW-3D includes a wide range of physics models that accurately capture complex fluid dynamics phenomena, such as multiphase flows, turbulence, heat transfer, and solidification processes.

**Moving Objects Model**: According to the vendor, FLOW-3D's Moving Objects Model allows for the simulation of objects in motion, such as ships and buoys, with accurate vessel dynamics and 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) motion.

**Wave Energy Device Modeling**: The vendor states that FLOW-3D is well-suited for modeling wave energy devices, accurately simulating the interaction between waves and energy capture devices, optimizing power generation efficiency, and device designs.

**Mining Applications**: According to the vendor, FLOW-3D offers specialized models for mining applications, accurately simulating tailings flow, slurries, and granular flows, helping engineers optimize processes and address environmental concerns.

**Oil & Gas Separator Design**: The vendor claims that FLOW-3D is a powerful tool for designing and optimizing oil and gas separators, accurately modeling immiscible fluids, analyzing vessel inlet configurations, and improving hydraulic efficiency and separation performance.

**Fuel Tanks**: According to the vendor, FLOW-3D helps simulate complex scenarios related to fuel tanks in automotive vehicles, aiding in the design and improvement of fuel systems, analyzing fuel sloshing, pressure systems, and fuel filling challenges.

**Fuel Sloshing**: The vendor states that FLOW-3D accurately predicts the forces and moments on a partially filled fuel tank during sloshing, aiding in the design of appropriate baffle systems and nozzle holders to minimize sloshing forces and optimize fuel flow.

**Early Fuel Shut-off**: According to the vendor, FLOW-3D predicts where vapor bubbles may become trapped in the filling tube during fuel tank filling, helping designers optimize nozzle holders to avoid fuel backup and early shutoff.

**Gear Interaction**: The vendor claims that FLOW-3D offers a fully coupled, 6-degree of freedom model for simulating fluid resistance in rotating systems, optimizing object collisions and efficiency of motion with various constraints and forces.
