Description

Dive CAE is a cloud-based software platform designed for computational fluid dynamics that empowers engineers to model intricate fluid dynamics phenomena, including free-surface flows, multiphase interactions, heat transfer, and the dynamics of moving machinery, all through a mesh-free Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics approach. Accessible directly from a web browser and optimized for high-performance computing systems, it eliminates the need for local hardware or installation processes. This innovative mesh-free method facilitates the modeling of complex geometries, accounts for surface tension, handles non-Newtonian fluids, and addresses transient flow scenarios without the cumbersome meshing and adjustments typical of traditional CFD methods. Users can quickly onboard, usually within a single day, while the software is designed to support parallel design-of-experiment workflows, allowing for numerous iterations to be completed in just hours rather than days. Dive CAE prioritizes collaboration among users, offers a straightforward licensing model (a single license for all), ensures transparent cost management, adheres to data usage governance, and provides scalability through its cloud-based architecture, making it an attractive choice for engineering teams looking to enhance their fluid dynamics simulations. This combination of features not only streamlines the simulation process but also fosters efficient teamwork and innovation in project development.

Description

Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) serves as a free and open-source platform for the modeling and visualization of flows influenced by fire. This computational fluid dynamics code effectively solves a variant of the Navier–Stokes equations tailored for low-speed, thermally-driven airflow, focusing particularly on the transport of smoke and heat resulting from fires. Employing large-eddy simulation, it captures the intricacies of fire-plume dynamics and can be utilized in diverse scenarios, such as those involving wind, sprinklers, ventilation systems, and various materials that affect fire behavior. Users create scenarios by utilizing text-based input files, execute the calculations within FDS, and subsequently evaluate the output data. The simulator presents results from both FDS and CFAST simulations through advanced OpenGL-based 3D graphics, incorporating scientific visualization techniques that include animated representations of smoke and tracer particles, two- and three-dimensional shaded contours, iso-surfaces, temperature distributions, and flow vectors that display both direction and intensity. In addition to these features, FDS is continually updated to enhance user experience and functionality, making it a vital tool for researchers and safety professionals alike.
