Since CFD or Computational Fluid Dynamics analyzes problems involving fluid flows using numerical analysis and numerical algorithms, the use of CFD tools is very common in industries that deal with fluid dynamics. It is essential.
PumpLinx is a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool that allows accurate and accurate virtual testing to analyze and predict the performance of liquid pumps, motors, compressors, turbines, valves, propellers, hydraulic systems and all fluid equipment. and hydraulics that provide moving and rotating parts.

For liquid systems, PumpLinx exclusively uses the Cavitation Module to accurately model vapor, free gas, and liquid compressibility to enable analysis of performance, pressure surges, and cavitation damage.

Software Features
1. Comprehensive physics
Flow, turbulence, conjugate heat transfer, aeration, cavitation, particles
2. Accurate predictions
Excellent correlation with test data across the entire operating range
3. Fast model creation, even faster simulation speed
Less than an hour from CAD to simulation, <15 minutes. For steady-state results
4. Ability to model complex details to the microscopic scale
Accurately simulate leak gaps, tip gaps, balancing holes, etc.
Software Features
1. Accurate results:
PumpLinx consistently provides simulation predictions that are within 5% of physical hardware test results across the entire operating range. (Witness)
2. Advanced Cavitation/Aeration Module:
PumpLinx strictly and independently accounts for the formation, transport, and impact of non-condensable gases (such as air) and cavitation vapor, rather than using a lumped effective compression approach. (Witness)
3. Fast calculation time:
PumpLinx has repeatedly been shown to be more than 10 times faster than other commercial codes, allowing for more complex simulations, including comprehensive transient analysis when needed. (Testimonial)
4. Powerful Solver:
PumpLinx is able to collect extremely difficult problems, even those with detailed microscale features and/or severe cavitation. (Testimonial)
5. Ease of Use:
Creating a model typically takes less than 30 minutes with templates, automatic mesh generation and a single GUI for setup, simulation and post-processing. (Testimonial)
6. Virtually Unlimited Support:
PumpLinx offers extensive training and provides virtually unlimited support in helping to set up cases. (Testimonial)
