NASA NTRS1993

Program Computes Flows Of Fluids And Heat

SINDA'85/FLUINT incorporates lumped-parameter-network and one-dimensional-flow mathematical models. System enables analysis of mutual influences of thermal and flow phenomena. Offers two finite-difference numerical solution techniques: forward-difference explicit approximation and Crank-Nicholson approximation. Enables simulation of nonuniform heating and facilitates mathematical modeling of thin-walled heat exchangers. Ability to model nonequilibrium behavior within two-phase volumes included. Recent changes in program improve modeling of real evaporator pumps and other capillary-assist evaporators. Written in FORTRAN 77.

SINDA '85/FLUINT, Version 2.2

SINDA, Systems Improved Numerical Differencing Analyzer, software system developed for solving physical problems governed by diffusion-type equations modeled by lumped-parameter representations. Used as general thermal analyzer with resistor-and-capacitor-network representations, adapted to wide range of problems represented by such differential equations as Fourier, Poisson, or LaPlace. Software system updated. FLUINT, FLUid INTegrator, is advanced, one-dimensional fluid-analysis program solving equations of arbitrary fluid-flow networks. Written in FORTRAN and ASSEMBLER.
