LINFLOW
	LINFLOW has been developed to bridge the gap between fluid dynamics and structure dynamics to give the engineer an efficient tool to learn and understand the characteristics of the dynamics of the fully coupled system of fluid and interfacing structure. Also, LINFLOW makes it possible to study the response of aero- and fluid-elastic systems within a very reasonable timeframe.

LINFLOW Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software helps engineers simulate complex fluid flow problems without having to generate large, complicated models of the fluid domain.

LINFLOW can be utilised for:

LINFLOW is very easy to use. Thanks to its unparalleled computational efficiency, LINFLOW is ideal for studying the effects of design changes and for design optimisation.

LINFLOW Applications

LINFLOW is a program for the simulation of Fluid Flow and Fluid-Structure Interaction problems. LINFLOW is characterised by ease of use and extreme computational efficiency. For the simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems, LINFLOW needs the modal information from a FE-based structural solver (Eigenfrequencies, eigenvectors, and modal load vector). LINFLOW is based on the Boundary Element Method. A unique implementation based on rigorous mathematics makes LINFLOW avoid the singularities found in the integral form of the equation system. Some examples of LINFLOW applications are shown below.

LINFLOW can solve:

Acoustics	Compressible and Incompressible Fluid Flow
Acoustics in Flowing Media	Aeroelastic Stability of Aircrafts
Computation of Hydrodynamic Added Mass	Aeroelastic Stability and Fatigue of Fans
Squeezed Film Effects in MEMS	Underwater Sensors
