Fluid Flow analysis is the study of how fluids, such as air, liquids, and gases move in and around solid objects, such as airplane wings, automobile bodies, or petroleum pipelines. In an era of increased reliance on concurrent engineering and use of simulation, PowerFLOW is very much a part of the business and technology trend toward greater design productivity for companies whose products require accurate and efficient modeling of fluid flow. Exa PowerFLOW is a unique approach that, at a fraction of the cost, allows for systems that are dramatically faster than currently available solutions and which deliver unprecedented accuracy. Exa Corporation is committed to the success of PowerFLOW, and to the growth of the flow analysis market.
Engineers worldwide face fluid flow problems in their work.
Such methods yield answers that are not sufficiently accurate for real world design problems because they rely upon approximations to differential equations run on digital computers. In addition, these methods are costly to apply, time consuming to compute, and require highly skilled practitioners to use.
