Overview
AEROFLO is an advanced,
multi-disciplinary CFD-based prediction tool for
aerospace systems, subsystems, and components. It
can also analyze flow and thermal problems in
automotive, chemical, energy, and bio-medical
industries. The niche for TTC's AEROFLO includes
problems requiring high-fidelity solutions such as
aeroacoustics, combustion, and aeroelasticity.
However, standard low-order CFD procedures are
also supported. AEROFLO is particularly well
suited for high-speed applications,
multi-disciplinary design and optimization (MDO).
Hypersonic and MHD simulations are rare tools that
are supported in AEROFLO.
