Prometech ParticleWorks 8.0

Prometech ParticleWorks is advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software developed by Prometech Software, Inc. This software is specifically designed to simulate and analyze the behavior of suspended particles in a fluid stream.

ParticleWorks uses a mesh-free numerical method called Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) to accurately simulate fluid-solid interactions and complex phenomena involving particles in fluids. This allows realistic modeling of multiphase flows, granular materials, and other particulate fluid systems.

Key features of ParticleWorks include:

• Particle-based simulation: ParticleWorks uses the Lagrangian method, which tracks individual particles as they move with the surrounding fluid flow. This allows accurate representation of particle behavior, such as collisions, agglomeration, and decay.
• Multiphase flow modeling: The software allows simulation of multiple phases of fluids, including liquids, gases, and immiscible fluids. It can accurately predict phenomena such as mixing, separation and surface deformation in multiphase systems.
• Simulate granular materials: ParticleWorks is capable of simulating granular materials, such as powders, grains, and bulk solids. It allows studying particle-particle and particle-wall interactions, analyzing forces and predicting flow patterns.
• CFD-DEM Coupling: Particle CouplingWorks with traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers allowing the simulation of complex processes involving both fluids and particles, providing analysis comprehensive coverage of multiphysics issues.
• User-friendly interface: ParticleWorks provides a user-friendly graphical interface that streamlines setup, simulation, and post-processing of particle fluid systems. It allows easy configuration of simulations, visualization of results and extraction of important data.

ParticleWorks finds applications in a variety of industries, including automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical engineering, and powder processing. It is used for research and development, process optimization, and design analysis, allowing engineers and researchers to better understand particulate fluid system performance and make informed decisions based on simulation results.
