Comprehensive solution of numerical simulations related to fluid flow and considering the influence of heat.
Experimentally validated solutions with emphasis on high task robustness and solution correctness.
Fully modifiable user interfaces and implemented functionalities leading to higher efficiency and work reliability.
AeroFLOW® based on the open GNU General Public License. The user is not in any way bound by the number of licenses in use or the number of used CPUs.
Powerful HPC solution.
The AeroFLOW® solution can be used both as a fully-fledged main CFD solver, but also as s complement to the commonly used commercial CFD licenses.
Deployment options for AeroFLOW®:
Regular updates of the source code for the offered open source solutions are monitored by a team of experts. Implemented are precisely those updates that have an impact on the issues being address in our implementations. This procedure prevent potential conflicts and incompatibilities between the code implemented by us and the code which is publicly innovated and developed on the principle of open source. In this manner, we provide high robustness and accuracy of the offered solutions.
Our team of experts dedicated to AeroFLOW® support provides customer implementations of methodologies with regard to solution integration in the development process of the company. This is to accelerate development work and reduce demands on the use of commercial solutions and the same time.
In case of customer interest, we can also provide maintenance of the system, i.e. ensuring functionality when switching to a different operating system. These activities are contractually solved in accordance to customer requirements.
In addition to the implementation services, we also offer assistance with the preparation of models and computational capacity, including analytical engineering and consultations.
AeroFLOW® is an Open Source solution based on the open GPL license. Some functionalities and modifiable used interface is covered by the LGPL license, or are designed as purely proprietary.

High Performance Computer is a type of a computer cluster designated for solving computationally intensive tasks, where multiple interconnected computers are used for computing power increase.
Open Source is a software with an open source code, where the term “open source” is understood both as its technical availability and as a legally available software license, which, under given circumstances, allows the users to not only view and use the source code, but to also modify it.
GNU General Public License. Software distributed under the GPL license can be freely used, modified and distributed, provided that the software is distributed free of charge (excluding potential distribution fees) with the possibility of obtaining the source code free of charge. This provision applies not only to the software itself, but also to any software derived from it.
Exact Wording
GNU Lesser General Public License represents licensing conditions for software distribution similar to license terms of GNU GPL and are primarily targeted for distribution of dynamically linked libraries (however it is possible to use them also for a standalone application). Their purpose is to provide rights and obligations guaranteed by GNU GPL (i.e. unrestricted use, source code access, the possibility for modifications, and distribution of original and modified versions always under the same license), whist allowing their use for programs with different licensing terms.
Exact Wording
Graphical User Interface in computed terminology means such a user interface, where a set of interactive graphical means allow controlling the computer and software.
In the case of computed software, “proprietary” can be understood as having such properties, that the author controls by a license or states the conditions of use in some other way. The source code of such software does not need to be freely available, it is not possible to modify it, or distribute it without the permission of the author.
