What is Dense Tube Bundle Flow Modeller?

Dense Tube Bundle Flow Modeller (abbreviated as DTBFMM in which, due to historical reasons, the last „M“ stands for “matrix solver version”) is a software for carrying out simplified Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow distribution systems containing dense tube bundles or other elements resembling porous media. The application has been written in Java and as such it can be run on a wide range of operating systems.

Apart from the typical functionalities available in CFD softwares, DTBFMM includes:

  • automatic mesh generator,
  • post-processing tools tailored to flow distribution analysis, and
  • distribution and collection header shape optimiser.

Although the software is already fully functional, new features are still being added to it.

The development of this software was funded by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under project No. TE02000236 “Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Competence Centre”.
