AFT xStream software

AFT xStream is a powerful software for simulating dynamic fluid flow that helps in designing and simulating the flow of steam and gas in piping systems before the operational implementation of a project.

Uncertainty in the design and implementation of a large engineering project can result in significant losses in time and costs. Therefore, this software provides a comprehensive set of tools for simulating fluid flow and thermal flow, which can be very helpful in predicting the true behavior and performance of the final product, as well as applying optimizations to minimize costs.

 

With AFT xStream, you can precisely predict and simulate how steam and gas systems will react to potential events.

AFT xStream is a specialized tool from Applied Flow Technology for analyzing the instability and transient conditions of gas and steam transmission lines.

AFT xStream is one of the most powerful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software currently used in large gas and steam pipeline systems.

The simulations provided by this software significantly reduce engineers’ computational uncertainties during the early stages of design and implementation, saving time, human resources, and most importantly, financial resources.

Design and implementation errors are some of the most common types of mistakes in engineering projects, which can be largely avoided by using accurate data and simulations.

Accurate simulations of gas behavior under various conditions and scenarios significantly reduce operational risks and bring the project to a safer operational state.
