How does it work?


AFT Arrow’s powerful solution engine
simultaneously solves five fundamental
equations; mass, momentum, energy, state
and Mach number. It uses a modified Newton -
Raphson matrix iteration method plus proprietary
methods developed by AFT so you can achieve a
true and rigorous compressible flow solution.
