Compressible Flow Simulation Tool
- AFT Arrow is a fluid dynamic simulation tool used to calculate pressure drop and flow distribution in gas piping and ducting systems.
- Accurately simulate individual components and their interaction including effects of heat transfer, real gases and choked flow
- Tightly integrate equipment characteristics, analysis and output with your system’s schematic representation
- Utilize a wide array of features without sacrificing your need for a short learning curve
- Compare the performance of new designs and assure all design requirements are met.
- Identify and correct operational problems in installed systems
- Significantly improve the quality of systems engineering and produces less costly, more efficient and more reliable piping systems
Capabilities
- Experiment with operating conditions and scenarios
- Easily change system input data, including valve positions, pump operation, control set points, pressures, temperatures and more
- Model a wide range of system components for both design and operational cases
- Simulate ideal or real gases
- Choose between isothermal, adiabatic or generalized heat transfer conditions
- Vary your system lineup: open and close pipes and valves, turn compressors or fans on or off, set control valves to fail position
- Conduct flow analysis with high velocities including sonic choking
- Compile database libraries of your frequently used components and quickly select them from a drop down list
- Assemble non-reacting mixtures and analyze dynamic mixing resulting from intersecting flow streams
- Model and analyze rotating piping systems such as those found in steam and gas turbines
- Model effects of elevation changes such as in tall structures, subsurface mines and overland pipelines
- Evaluate codes and industry standards applied in the model
- Import piping layouts from:
- CAESAR II® Neutral files supported by AutoPIPE®, ROHR2, TRIFLEX®, and others
- PCF Files supported by AutoCAD Plant 3D®, SmartPlant®, CADWorx® and others
- GIS shapefiles supported by ArcGis and others
- Import and export files in EPANET format
- Clearly import Excel data into multiple scenarios and export with the Excel Export Manager
Typical Applications
- Pipe and Duct Sizing
