Fluid-Structure interaction for floating materials

Utilizing real physics-based algorithms, Doriflow can replicate the complex interactions between fluids and solid structures, ensuring the realistic behavior of floating objects. This capability is useful for applications in environmental studies, and any field requiring precise analysis of how objects interact with fluid dynamics.

GPU-powered fluid engine

Doriflow's GPU-powered feature utilizes CUDA-based NVIDIA GPUs for massive scalability, offering a significant time difference compared to CPU processing. This integration accelerates workflows and enhances performance, making Doriflow ideal for large-scale scenes involving complex fluid-solid interactions.

Foam - Bubble - Spray particles

Doriflow can generate whitewater particles (foam/bubble/spray) based on the local curvature of the fluid surface, enhancing scene realism. Also, as foam particles follow the surrounding fluid velocity, it can illustrate phenomena like turbulent flow or von Karman vortex.

Presets Scenes for quick flow

Doriflow is integrated with many presets featuring pre-determined physics setups and variables. These presets have been thoroughly tested and recommended by our team to ensure the physics are accurate and error-free. This allows users to generate results with just a few clicks, eliminating the need to learn and experiment with every single variable.
