One platform, two modes
Flowmax operates seamlessly in both steady-state hydraulic analysis and dynamic transient simulation modes — within a single interface. Model, simulate, and analyse complex networks from design through to operation.
Flowmax Steady-State
For normal hydraulic network calculation. Model pipes, pumps, valves, and tanks — then calculate pressure drop, flow distribution, and generate engineering reports.
Pipe network modelling
Single-line and multi-loop networks with full connectivity.
Pump sizing & curves
H-Q curves, operating points, parallel and series configurations.
Valve & fitting losses
Resistance coefficients, Cv values, and minor loss factors.
Pressure drop calculation
Darcy-Weisbach and Hazen-Williams friction methods.
Flow distribution
Automatic flow balancing across looped networks.
Engineering reports
Structured calculation reports for design documentation.
Flowmax Dynamics
For transient simulation. Analyse water hammer, pump trips, valve closure and opening, surge protection, and cavitation — using the Method of Characteristics (MOC) solver.
Water hammer analysis
MOC solver for transient pressure wave propagation.
Pump trip & startup
Model pump failure, trip, and controlled startup events.
Valve closure/opening
Simulate fast and slow valve operations and their pressure effects.
Surge protection
Evaluate surge tanks, PSVs, rupture disks, and accumulators.
Cavitation analysis
Identify low-pressure zones at risk of column separation.
Transient reports
Time-history plots and event summary for engineering review.
