A new Era of CFD
Splash-CFD is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software platform designed to simplify and accelerate the process of running engineering simulations. The platform focuses on improving accessibility and productivity in CFD by providing a modern graphical interface, guided workflows, and integration with open-source technologies such as OpenFOAM. Its main objective is to allow engineers and researchers to concentrate on physical modeling and design decisions rather than complex coding or command-line operations.
The software offers a modular and user-friendly environment that streamlines the entire simulation workflow—from geometry import and mesh generation to solver execution and post-processing. It includes integrated tools for automated meshing, real-time monitoring of simulations, advanced visualization, and structured case management. These features aim to reduce setup time, improve convergence performance, and help users obtain insights into fluid flow behavior more efficiently.
Splash-CFD supports a wide range of physics and simulation types, including incompressible and compressible flows, turbulence modeling (such as RANS and LES), heat transfer, and multiphase flows. The platform also provides parallel computing capabilities and integrated mesh generation tools that automatically adapt to geometry while maintaining quality metrics. These capabilities enable engineers to perform high-fidelity simulations for both internal and external flow problems across different engineering domains.
A key concept behind the platform is accessibility. Traditional professional CFD software can be expensive and difficult to learn, often requiring months of training and significant licensing costs. Splash-CFD addresses these barriers by offering a more intuitive interface and guided workflows while maintaining the power of established CFD solvers. The platform aims to make advanced simulation technology accessible to startups, researchers, and small engineering teams that may not have access to large software budgets.
The software is distributed through flexible subscription plans for academic, professional, and enterprise users. These plans vary in terms of features, mesh size limits, and user capacity, but all aim to provide access to advanced CFD functionality at a lower cost than traditional enterprise packages. The platform is also supported by training resources, documentation, and expert support intended to help users develop CFD skills and successfully run simulations.
Overall, Splash-CFD presents itself as a next-generation CFD environment designed to modernize simulation workflows. By combining the capabilities of open-source solvers with an intuitive graphical interface, automated tools, and guided workflows, it seeks to democratize high-fidelity CFD and enable engineers worldwide to perform complex fluid dynamics analyses more efficiently.
