Description
MFiX, which stands for Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges, serves as an open-source solver designed for multiphase flow and is recognized as NETL’s primary suite of computational fluid dynamics tools for simulating reacting multiphase flows. It has established itself as a benchmark for the comparison, implementation, and assessment of constitutive models in multiphase flow scenarios and has been utilized across a wide variety of multiphase flow devices and industrial applications. Offering various modeling techniques, MFiX includes the Two-Fluid Model, Discrete Element Model, Coarse-Grained Particle DEM, Superquadric Particle DEM, Glued-Sphere Particle DEM, Particle-in-Cell model, hybrid approaches, and a dedicated single-phase solver tailored for granular flows. These advanced models enable the simulation of numerous systems such as gasifiers, circulating fluidized bed combustors, fluidized beds, fluid catalytic crackers, and chemical looping combustion systems, addressing complex interactions involving hydrodynamics, heat transfer, species transport, and various chemical reactions. As a result, MFiX contributes significantly to the understanding and optimization of these intricate processes in both research and industrial settings.
Description
Utilizing the distinctive and inherently dynamic Lattice Boltzmann-based physics, the PowerFLOW CFD solution conducts simulations that effectively replicate real-world scenarios. With the PowerFLOW suite, engineers can assess product performance at the early stages of design, before any prototypes are constructed—this is when alterations can have the most substantial effects on both design and budget. The PowerFLOW system seamlessly imports intricate model geometries and conducts aerodynamic, aeroacoustic, and thermal management simulations with high accuracy and efficiency. By automating domain discretization and turbulence modeling along with wall treatment, it removes the need for manual volume meshing and boundary layer meshing. Users can confidently execute PowerFLOW simulations using a large number of compute cores on widely utilized High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms, enhancing productivity and reliability in the simulation process. This capability not only accelerates product development timelines but also ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed early in the design phase.
