3. The mesh in FlowVision is a parametric Cartesian grid. The user Figure 1: Difference between traditional methods and SGGRTM
starts the project with a CAD model and creates an initial
Cartesian grid. Then applies geometry or solution based
adaptations. Adaptations on geometries can be based on real or
arbitrary shaped objects.
5. Finally, FlowVision has the necessary check & detection tools for
CAD problems such as self intersections, ensuring correct Figure 2: Surface reconstruction in SGGRTM
topology definition and tolerance. Thus, FlowVision users can
focus on the real physics of the problem instead of focusing
the process of building the CFD mesh & project.

5. Key Features:
• MPM manager for simple setup, start and restart of
simulation and real-time results monitoring
• Automatic coupling of not matched CFD & FEA
meshes and automatic re-meshing (not limited to Figure 10: Tire Aquaplaning. (courtesy of Kenda Tires)
mesh deformation)
• Support of highly deforming structures, moving
bodies, moving boundaries and free surface tracking
• Individual time step control for FEM and CFD solvers
• Time step control of data exchange
• Reduced simulation time with parallel computing

4. Key Features:
• User follows the typical FlowVision meshing routine
without resolving gap region with mesh elements (no
need for 3rd party meshing tools & excessively fine
mesh due to dimensionality issues).
• “Gap cells” are automatically detected based on the
thresholds given by the user.
• The model is automatically applied to the gap cells
and governing equations are modified to accurately
model the viscous forces.
• FlowVision’s Gap Model is developed to resolve Figure 10 : Detected Gap Cells in a screw compressor (left) and
flows where dimension ratio increases up to 5·107. turbocharger calculation (right). (courtesy of DSM, Mitsubishi

FlowVision Universal Solver
1. Flexible Solver Control: FlowVision provides the possibility to use
different solver configurations in different parts of the
simulation domain to obtain the most reliable simulation results
and to minimize computational effort: For example, a user can
simulate one part of a domain with turbulence models while the
remaining parts are modeled as laminar. Or one can simulate Figure 18: Single numerical algorithm for the entire computation
heat transfer with a time step larger than time step used to domain. No user input required to address flow conditions.
solve turbulence equations. Different solver settings (turbulence on/off, different heat transfer
time step etc.) can be assigned to different parts of flow domain.
2. One Solver for All Mach Numbers and Flow Conditions:
• Subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flow
regimes can simultaneously exist in the computational
domain.
