DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE'S AN APPLICATION THAT CAN SIMULATE FLUID DYNAMICS. THANKS

Antonio – There's fluid dynamics applications available on platforms such as the Sun SparcStation, and the Silicon Graphics IRIS line, but I'm not aware of any running under DOS. Then again, I'm not terribly familiar with any of this stuff to begin with. You might try posting your question over on the LEAP (League for Engineering Automation Productivity) Forum, just type GO LEAP at any CIS prompt. -TonyT.

Antonio, First off, let me say, I like your name (if my new baby was a boy, his name would have been Antonio, but her name is Aria Leanna). Someone else was just recently asking on LEAP about the same think (kind'a). That person wanted to model and estimate the fluid flow thru a nozzle for "spray pattern" analysis. After some probing questins, the result was that they couldn't (or didn't want to) afford the solution. I hate to answer a question with a question, but here is goes? What do you want to model? At what speed? What is the medium? At what Reynolds number? Are we talking "pipe flow" or "free stream" around a "body"? … and most importantly "What do you want to know after the analysis (lift & drag, separation, transistion, flow visualization, potential drop, etc..)?" .. don't tell me "all of the above" <G> These questions are vital in the determination of the appropriate practical and theoretical approach you will need to take and therefore, what software will be necessary. Send me some MAIL or call me at (301) 236-5425 EST and we can discuss it further. In wonder of it all …. Ang
