ADVANTAGES
Flow moves you from concept to large-scale, AI-driven design exploration faster and more accurately than traditional CFD software. An intuitive browser interface and flexible Python API shorten the learning curve, letting you focus on running simulations, interpreting results, and exploring designs. The cloud-native platform provides instant access from anywhere, eliminating installation steps and specialized hardware. Built on a GPU-native architecture, Flow delivers accelerated runtimes and immediate access to a private cluster powered by the latest high-performance GPUs - all at a cost-efficient price.
100x Faster
Accelerate Design Cycles
Flow delivers simulation results up to 100X faster than traditional CFD tools, reducing certification cycles and time-to-market by allowing engineering teams to iterate designs in hours instead of days. From individual components to large, complex assemblies, you can rapidly evaluate concepts, optimize performance, and accelerate validation cycles.
100x Larger
Scale Seamlessly
Flow's cloud-native architecture scales simulations across hundreds of GPUs instantly. Whether analyzing unsteady aerodynamics, creating an aero database, conducting a sensitivity study, or solving multiple simulations in parallel, it handles high-fidelity workloads without bottlenecks. Supporting faster development and complete design exploration.
50% Cheaper
Reduce Development Costs
Flow reduces testing and development costs by minimizing dependence on wind tunnel testing and expensive on-premises hardware. Flexible, usage-based pricing and faster turnaround times help avoid costly delays and rework across the design and validation process.

FEATURES
Flow360 is an advanced CFD solver built for high-fidelity simulation of complex fluid, thermal, and acoustics phenomena at scale. Its solver architecture, physics models, and numerical methods support both routine engineering analysis and large, high-fidelity simulation workloads. The features below highlight the core capabilities that define Flow360's performance, accuracy, and modeling depth across modern simulation workflows.
01
End-to-End Workflow
A unified, solver-integrated workflow from geometry and meshing through simulation execution and post-processing. Case setup, execution, and result inspection are tightly coupled to reduce handoffs between tools and minimize friction across large design studies and production runs.
02
Browser-Based Interface
A browser-based interface for interactive case setup, monitoring, and visualization without local software installation. Supports collaborative workflows, rapid access to results, and centralized management of large simulation campaigns.
03
Python API
A powerful Python API for programmatic control of case setup, parameter sweeps, batch execution, and post-processing. Enables scripting, automation, and integration into larger simulation and optimization pipelines.
04
High-Quality Automated Mesh Generation
A fully integrated, automated meshing pipeline designed to remove meshing as a workflow bottleneck. The solver-aware mesher handles large, complex geometries efficiently, generating high-quality boundary layers, farfield domains, and localized refinements with minimal manual setup. Supports large-scale meshes with robust memory efficiency, enabling practical high-resolution simulations without reliance on external meshing tools.
05
GPU-Native Parallel Solver Architecture
Built natively for GPUs and large-scale parallel execution, enabling high-resolution simulations to run efficiently across many GPUs with fast turnaround for both steady and transient workloads.
06
Fully Compressible Navier–Stokes
Solves the fully compressible Navier–Stokes equations for viscous external flows, supporting accurate prediction of aerodynamic loads across subsonic to high-Mach regimes in steady and time-accurate simulations.
07
Turbulence Modeling
Supports a spectrum of modeling approaches from RANS and URANS to scale-resolving methods (DDES, ZDES, and even iLES), including SA and kωSST turbulence models, for capturing unsteady flow structures, separation dynamics, and transient aerodynamic phenomena.
08
Transition Modeling
Supports laminar-to-turbulent transition modeling to improve prediction of boundary layer behavior, separation onset, and surface heat transfer in regimes where transition location materially affects performance.
09
Conjugate Heat Transfer and Thermal Modeling
Supports convective heat transfer with isothermal and prescribed heat-flux boundary conditions, as well as conjugate heat transfer for coupled fluid–solid thermal analysis and surface temperature prediction.
10
Rotor Modeling
Supports multiple approaches for modeling rotating components, including actuator disk, blade element theory disk and line models, multiple reference frames, and sliding interface support. Enables efficient simulation of propellers, rotors, and rotating components while capturing unsteady interaction effects where required.
11
Aeroacoustics Modeling
Provides aeroacoustic prediction based on permeable and non-permeable Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings formulations, enabling far-field noise analysis from unsteady flow fields and rotating machinery.
12
Low-Dissipation Numerical Schemes
Implements low-dissipation spatial discretization schemes designed to achieve lower numerical dissipation in the range of higher resolved wave numbers for scale-resolving simulations.
13
User-Defined Dynamics and Boundary Conditions
Enables user-defined motion, dynamic boundary conditions, and custom actuation models for simulating moving components and time-dependent flow scenarios within the solver.
