Applications

CFD-DEM Simulations

Particle-laden systems often require the simultaneous solution of the fluid field, particle fields, and interactions between the two phases. The GPU-based implementation of M-Star CFD software makes large-scale simulations of such systems accessible and practical.

Modeling Capabilities for CFD-DEM Simulations

M-Star CFD software was built to run on millions and billions of lattice grid points. This allows you to model complex multiphase solid/liquid systems accurately in time scale relevant to industrial design.
