2. Why LINFLOW ? Enables the Engineer to Efficiently:
An Efficient Complementary tool to Navier-Stokes Based Fluid Dynamic Solutions
and FE-based Structure Dynamics.
Enables the Engineer to Efficiently:
Study of His/Her Design Dynamics, if the Structure is in Contact with an External and or Internal Fluid (such as any Gas or Liquid).
Study Internal and/or External Acoustics Generated by the Vibrating Design. This also when Taking into Account the Effect of a Non-Zero Mass Flow (e.g Wing Effect)
Predict Steady and Unsteady (Oscillating) Fluid Dynamics if Boundary Layers are Thin or have Small Influence on Overall Behavior.

3. Why LINFLOW Dynamics,1
Enable Study of Dynamics of the Design, When the Structure and the Fluid is Considered as One Equation System. This is Called Aeroelasticity in Aeronautical Engineering.
In an Eigenvalue Solution Characteristic Frequencies and Mode Damping Characteristics will Depend on:
Flow Velocity
Fluid Pressure Level
Gas/Liquid properties (Density etc.)
Instability
