P3/CFD(tm) is a unique finite element-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software system that combines the intuitive P3/PATRAN(tm) User Interface with state-of-the-art solution hp-adaptive CFD technology. P3/CFD(tm) solves 2-D, 3-D, and axisymmetric fluid flow problems including laminar or turbulent, incompressible and compressible flows--from subsonic, through transonic, to supersonic (with shock capturing).
P3/CFD(tm) seeks to optimize the finite element mesh by automatically refining and unrefining the mesh size (h-adaptive), the polynomial order (p-adaptive), or a combination of the two (hp-adaptive) during the solution to capture the important flowfield features. P3/CFD(tm) often exhibits exponential rates of convergence, making workstation use of P3/CFD(tm) ideal for realistic design problems.
