With RhinoCFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics is now available for Rhino3d users without having to leave the Rhino environment.

Transportation: Drag reduction, combustion processes, emissions testing.

Medical: Arterial flow, respiratory flow, effects of non-Newtonian fluids.

Aerospace: Aerodynamics, turbomachinery, heat management.

Jewellery: Investment casting optimization.

Architecture and building services: External/internal ventilation, HVAC, contaminant dispersion.

Marine: design of hulls, sails, propellers.

Have a look at the full list (and what it all means) here!įor older versions please contact can be used in any area where fluids may have an impact on a design and therefore its applications are numerous and is already used in a wide variety of industries including:

A new comfort index is available: Universal Thermal Climate Index.

The Dutch and Belgian Fire standards are now selectable.

Wind conditions can now by specified via Weibull coefficients.

A new aerosol deposition model is available.We also have some improvements that are specific to FLAIR, our built environment module: Auto calculation of time step in transients.

New Post processing panel to simplify creating plots and produce higher quality results processing.

Here's a snapshot of a couple of the more exciting upgrades: It allows users to investigate the interaction of their model with the surrounding fluid, thus enabling rapid optimization and testing without leaving the familiarity of the Rhino environment.

CHAM presents RhinoCFD, a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software plugin, built directly into the Rhino environment and powered by CHAM's PHOENICS.
