Flow Science History
Flow Science's office in Santa Fe
In 1963, while at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dr.
C. W. "Tony" Hirt pioneered several landmark fluid dynamics methods, stability
enhancing procedures and a unique free surface tracking technique - the "Volume
Of Fluid" or VOF method. In 1980, Dr. Hirt left LANL to form Flow
Science Inc. with the mission to develop a new generation of fluid
dynamics modeling capabilities for industrial and scientific applications.
Since its founding,
the goal at Flow Science has been to provide our customers with excellence in
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and services, giving close and careful
attention to each customer's special modeling needs. This objective led to the
commercial release in 1985 of FLOW-3D, a flexible
and robust fluid dynamics and heat transfer program. The code was designed from
the outset to support diverse engineering applications with emphasis on modeling
accuracy, problem adaptability and user convenience.
Flow Science now supports a worldwide customer base of commercial, academic and government users. Our staff of scientists and engineers constantly strives to make innovative and useful improvements to FLOW-3D. We take pride in the level of customer support provided. The Flow Science tradition of excellence in CFD technological leadership and support services now spans 25 years.
