Flow Science, Inc. develops the FLOW-3D family of computational fluid dynamics software, focusing on accurately modeling free-surface and multiphase flows and the interactions between fluids and structures. The company was founded in 1980 by Dr. C. W. Hirt, a figure associated with pioneering work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and its headquarters are in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with an additional office in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The software suite combines general-purpose multiphysics CFD capabilities with specialized modules for metal casting, additive manufacturing, laser welding, and hydraulic engineering, along with advanced visualization and data analysis features.

Flow Science serves engineers and researchers worldwide in aerospace, automotive, energy, manufacturing, and civil engineering, supported by a network of wholly owned subsidiaries and distribution partners across Asia, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and the Middle East. More than 2,500 peer-reviewed papers and technical presentations citing FLOW-3D products have been published across disciplines. In 2025, Flow Science launched the FLOW-3D HYDRO Symposium, reflecting an ongoing commitment to engaging users around water infrastructure CFD applications.
