Computational efficiency is at the core of FLOW-3D’s treatment of free surface flows. Our free surface tracking method, TruVOF, is not only extremely accurate but also computationally less intensive than other methods. However, in the case of certain theoretically steady free surface problems, long runtimes become unavoidable. This is due to the estimated quasi-steady nature of the free surface. In such cases, rather than waiting for the simulation to reach a steady state, the user may simply be interested in seeing an average of the quasi-steady state. With FLOW-3D’s new steady-state accelerator for free surface flows, the steady state can be reached more quickly.
