nanoFluidX is a particle-based hydrodynamics simulation (SPH) tool to predict fluid flow around complex geometries under complicated motion. It can be used, for example, to simulate lubrication in conventional power train systems for electric or high-performance vehicles comprising rotating shafts or gears and to analyze forces and torques on individual system components. In addition, sloshing can be predicted in tanks with transient movements.

In addition, sloshing can be predicted in tanks with transient movements.
Designed and optimized for use in clusters of graphics processing units (GPUs), the software is extremely fast. For typical gear train applications, without the need to simplify geometries, code can execute an order of magnitude faster than finite volume code.
Why nanoFluidX?
Easy
The simplified workflow enables advanced simulation by non-CAE experts: import geometry, select elements, and manage particles.
Precise
Easy and accurate treatment of high-density multiphase flows, such as analysis of aerate oil supply in critical areas of the transmission system or simulation of tank sanding for automotive and aerospace applications.
Fast
Significant performance advantage and energy savings with GPU computing compared to more complicated CPU counterparts, offering much faster product development
Main features
Simplified preprocessing
There is no need to mesh in the classic sense. Import geometry, select the element, and generate particles. No more hours of preprocessing and creating a sufficiently good mesh.
General free surface flows
Simulate oil spillage in power train systems, free-flowing fluids in an open environment, open or closed tanks under high accelerations, and similar phenomena.
Multiphase flows with high density ratio
NanoFluidX's Hydrodynamic Smoothed Particle (SPH) method allows easy treatment of high-density multiphase flows (e.g., water-to-air) without additional computational effort.
Sloshing do tanque
Accurate measurement of the forces experienced by the tank or vehicle during drastic acceleration, such as braking or sudden change of track, by simulating tank sloshing.
Rotary motion
nanoFluidX has implemented options to prescribe different types of motion, so it's easy to simulate rotating gears, crankshafts, and connecting rods in power train applications.
Rigid body movement
In addition to rotational motion, nanoFluidX code allows trajectories of elements prescribed by an input file.
