Applications

Filling and Recirculation Systems

Recirculation and jet-mixing systems present competition between blend time and residence time—along with strong spatial variations in fluid velocity. As a fully transient and three-dimensional solver, M-Star CFD is ideally suited to capture these complex physics.

CFD Modeling Capabilities for Recirculation Systems

M-Star CFD was built to run on millions and billions of lattice grid points. This allows you to model complex jet mixing problems—including mass transfer, multiphase fluid flow, and more—accurately and in minutes.
