Accurate Gas Flow Modeling for Precision Engineering

Gas flow within a pipeline constantly changes due to pressure and temperature variations. Unlike liquid systems, gas properties such as density, viscosity, and sonic velocity shift along the pipeline, impacting calculations.
FluidFlow’s Gas Module applies specialized gas correlations with equations of state, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.
Users can visualize real-time density changes along pipe segments to avoid critical errors and prevent inaccurate results by using compressible flow methods instead of incompressible flow pressure loss correlations
