What is STREAM?

STREAM is a general purpose, structured mesh (Cartesian or cylindrical) thermal fluid analysis software. STREAM has been used in a wide variety of commercial applications since it was first released in 1984. Over the years since it’s inception, STREAM has increased its capabilities to appeal to a broader range of general applications. The total number of STREAM licenses surpassed 1000 in April 2005, proving its wide acceptance in the field.

Using a structured mesh, STREAM can provide extraordinary performance in both meshing and computation speed. Its performance is maximized especially for the applications that do not require precise reproduction of fine geometrical curvature to predict accurate flow structure. The finite volume method is used for discretization which is common for thermal fluid analysis. STREAM can solve a 1 million mesh model using less than 300 MB. Various useful functions such as a VB interface and a user function with tabular input are provided for customer user interfaces.
