Overview
AEROFLO is an advanced, multi-disciplinary CFD-based prediction tool for aerospace systems, subsystems, and components. The code can also analyze flow and thermal problems in aerospace, automotive, chemical, mechanical, 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 Magnetogasdynamics simulations are rare tools that are supported in AEROFLO.
