FLOW-3D® analyzes fluid dynamics and heat transfer phenomena. Flows in three space dimensions and time are modeled in complex geometric regions and in regions bounded by free fluid surfaces. FLOW-3D consists of three separate programs written in standard FORTRAN 77 for easy portability. A preprocessor program simplifies problem setup activities for scientists and engineers by translating simple input data into a full numerical problem description for the main processor. The main processor contains the algorithms necessary for generating solutions under a wide range of physical conditions, and it also possesses some artificial intelligence in the form of control logic for time-step size selection to improve accuracy and eliminate numerical instabilities. Finally a postprocessor allows the user to easily extract and display the maximum amount of information from a calculation.
