Why Attend This Webinar?

Are you an engineer looking to expand your simulation toolkit with high-fidelity CFD technology? 4RealSim invites you to a free webinar introducing PowerFLOW – a cutting-edge CFD tool based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). Learn how this powerful solver is applied across various industries to address complex aerodynamic, thermal, and acoustic challenges.

What is the Lattice Boltzmann Method?

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a modern class of CFD techniques that simulates fluid behavior by modeling particle distribution functions on a lattice. Instead of directly solving the Navier–Stokes equations, it uses streaming and collision processes. This approach excels in handling complex geometries, transient phenomena, and acoustic problems.

Key Benefits of PowerFLOW

• High-fidelity transient solutions, accurate from laminar to transonic flow regimes up to Mach 2.

• Automated domain discretization and turbulence modeling – no need for manual meshing.

• Efficient use of high-performance computing with large-scale parallelism.

• Support for moving geometries, particle and heat exchanger modeling, porous media, and real-world wind conditions.

• Simulate conjugate heat transfer problems and human thermal comfort with built-in coupling to PowerTHERM.

• Streamlined workflows using Application Templates for fast and repeatable pre- and post-processing.

Application Domains and Capabilities

PowerFLOW focuses on three main simulation areas:

• Aerodynamics

• Aeroacoustics

• Thermal simulations (convection, conduction, radiation, heat exchangers)

Typical use cases include:

• Full vehicle aerodynamics and aeroacoustics (e.g., cars, trucks, trains)

• HVAC system simulation aerodynamics and aeroacoustics

• Aerospace external and internal aerodynamics and aeroacoustics

• Energy sector (Wind and hydro turbines) and building internal and external flow simulation

• Data center modelling

Who Should Attend?

• Engineers seeking an introduction to PowerFLOW.

• Engineers approaching the limitations of traditional Navier-Stokes solvers.

• Simulation professionals/Technology managers looking to understand the advantages of LBM.

• Engineers working within the 4RealSim territory.
