FluidFlow’s powerful technology automatically sizes pipes, pumps, relief valves, and bursting disks to ISO and API standards. It selects the most economical pipe sizes based on physical properties, equipment, and energy costs. Choose from sizing methods like Economic Velocity, Velocity, or Pressure Gradient for optimal results.
Enables heat transfer analysis across all modules, including heat exchangers, pipes, and junctions. Model systems like shell and tube exchangers, plate exchangers, coils, and autoclaves with options for buried pipe calculations, heat loss/gain, fixed transfer rates, or temperature changes.
Use scripting for time-dependent simulations to analyze pressure changes, control strategies, pump performance, valve behavior, flare depressurization, and the effects of scale build-up on flow rates.
This example shows the performance curves for a vendor pump. This pump data was then modeled in a sample test-case system in FluidFlow.
When using FluidFlow, we can see where the system curve intersects the pump capacity curve and the actual duty-point on the performance curves. The calculated results for the pump allow us to see the operating efficiency, NPSHa, NPSHr, and the duty head requirement.
This example is of a freshwater cooling network for a ship modelled in FluidFlow. The system includes a circulation pump servicing a bank of heat exchangers, along with two additional pumps being sized to meet the flow requirements. The network operates with a general demand of 118 m³/h, and orifice plates are utilized to balance the flow distribution throughout the system. The piping network spans approximately 300 meters in total length.
This example shows the main take-off line for tanker loading from a LNG storage tank facility.
FluidFlow solves continuity, momentum and energy equations iteratively to arrive at an accurate solution. Phase states and physical properties are calculated at each point in the network. Solutions are valid for all flow regimes.
In this system, FluidFlow was used to design and model the liquid and vapor lines, including compressor plant.
