 FLOW-3D supports Windows as well as Linux platforms and includes a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) which supports the user during the model setup and simulation process.
-D solid structures are imported into the GUI in the form of stereolithographic files (STL). Figure 2 shows the exemplary geometry set-up of the FIThydro case study hydropower plant (HPP) Bannwil in Canton Bern, Switzerland for FLOW-3D. Definition of mesh blocks and mesh resolution, as well as boundary and initial conditions, can is done in the GUI. The use of multiple mesh blocks allows for local refinement at areas of interest. Small obstacles, complex geometries and thin channels that are small compared to the overall domain size can be accurately resolved using so called conforming mesh blocks. In FLOW-3D “conforming mesh” means, that the transition between solid and void or solid and fluid is resolved with a nested finer mesh within a defined overlap length compared to the surrounding block.

 The software license includes the post-processing tool FlowSight, designed to deliver sophisticated visualizations of FLOW-3D results. Arbitrary 2D clips along spline pathways, 3D clips and transparencies, volume rendering, advanced data time series plotting and calculators, streamline and vector plots are available in FlowSight (Figure 3 and 4). Alternatively, the result files can be visualized using other free (e.g. ParaView) or commercial (e.g. Tecplot) CFD visualization software.

-FLOW-3D is a commercial CFD simulation software that focusses on free-surface flows in a wide range of industrial applications and physical processes. The software solves the Navier-Stokes equations that mathematically describe the 3D motion of fluids. The domain is subdivided into several mesh blocks containing rectangular grid cells (structured mesh). Fluid velocities and pressures are located at staggered mesh locations as shown for a typical grid cell in Figure 40.

The domain is subdivided into several mesh blocks containing rectangular grid cells (structured mesh). Fluid velocities and pressures are located at staggered mesh locations as shown for a typical grid cell in Figure 1.
 The numerical model involves the following variables: velocities (u,v,w) and fractional areas (A) at the centers of cell-faces, pressures (P), fluid fractions (F), fractional volumes (VF), densities (ρ), internal energy (I), turbulence quantities for energy (q), dissipation (D) and viscosity (μ) are located at cell centres.
