Spillways, dams, rivers, brake-waters, sea-waves, wastewater treatment systems, are all the possible subjects that can be investigated and optimized through numerical modeling.

The software FLOW-3D can help you in simulate (with a realistic 3D, turbulent approach) several water conditions.
Users can directly import topographic files for their ground, complete it with any 3D cad geometry, and then quickly setup a wide range of hydraulics conditions, starting from a simple static hydraulics head, through complex wave systems (linear, stokes, solitary, conoidal, and random waves).

Simulation provides in output several quantities of interest for engineers:
    • pressure and velocity field
    • fluid elevation
    • fluid depth
    • Froud number
    • depth averaged velocity
    • near-bottom velocity
    • total head
    • vorticity and stagnation zones
    • local shear stress and scour zones
    • air entrained

Additionally, users can introduce in the simulation multiple solid moving objects, with up to 6 DoF each, interacting each other and with the fluid through a collision model and full fluid-momentum equation coupling.

To enforce the design stage, software IOSO Technology can be used to make optimization over the FLOW-3D simulation or other preliminary 1D-2D approaches.
IOSO will work in loop with your modeling tools, searching for very high extrema of performance for your design.
