Flow Science

Flow Science 总部位于新墨西哥州圣达菲，由 C. W. (Tony) Hirt 博士于 1980 年创立，他是洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室工作期间开创“流体体积”或 VOF 方法的主要人物之一。FLOW-3D 是这项工作的直接产物，但在过去几年中，我们通过 TruVOF 将其提升到了更高的水平，在跟踪不同液体/气体界面的准确性方面取得了重大改进。不过，FLOW-3D 不仅仅是自由表面流动。它是一个完整的多物理软件包，具有重要的建模功能，包括但不限于流体结构相互作用、6-DoF 移动物体和多相流。从一开始，我们的目标和愿景就是为客户提供卓越的流动建模软件和服务。我们最近的战略计划表达了这一愿景：

成为全球工程师寻求自由表面问题答案的唯一解决方案；准确、快速、轻松地提供这些答案。”

我们知道，对复杂的流域进行建模并不简单，因此我们会仔细关注每个客户的特殊建模需求。因此，我们将程序的很大一部分暴露给用户交互，避免了其他 CFD 软件包所采用的“黑箱”方法。我们为全球众多商业、学术和政府用户提供支持，他们每天都使用 FLOW-3D 来改善世界，我们对此感到非常自豪。我们直接为这些用户提供服务，并通过附属公司（Flow Science Japan、Flow Science Deutschland GmbH、Flow Science Latin America SAS 和 Flow Science Software Trading Co., Ltd (China)）和独立合作伙伴组成的优质渠道提供服务。

Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Flow Science was founded in 1980 by Dr. C. W. (Tony) Hirt, who was one of the principals in pioneering the “Volume-of-Fluid” or VOF method while working at the Los Alamos National Lab. FLOW-3D is a direct descendant of this work, but in the intervening years we have taken it to a much higher level with TruVOF, boasting major improvements in the accuracy of tracking distinct liquid/gas interfaces. FLOW-3D is about much more than just free-surface flows though. It is a complete multi-physics package with significant modeling capabilities including but not limited to fluid-structure interaction, 6-DoF moving objects, and multiphase flows. From the beginning, our goal and vision has been to provide our customers with excellence in flow modeling software and services. Our most recent strategic plan gives voice to this vision:

To be the only solution that engineers worldwide look to for answers to their free-surface problems; to deliver those answers accurately, quickly, and easily.”

We know that modeling complex flow domains is not simple, so we give careful attention to each customer’s special modeling needs. As a result, we expose a significant portion of our program to user interaction, avoiding the “black box” approach applied by other CFD packages. We support a stellar customer base of commercial, academic, and government users around the globe who use FLOW-3D to improve the world on a daily basis, a fact we are very proud of. We take care of these users directly, and through a high-quality channel of affiliated companies (Flow Science Japan, Flow Science Deutschland GmbH, Flow Science Latin America SAS and Flow Science Software Trading Co., Ltd (China)) and independent partners.
