How Does It Work?


AFT Fathom’s hydraulic solution engine uses the
Newton-Raphson matrix iteration method plus
proprietary methods developed by AFT to solve pipe
flow and duct flow applications. AFT Fathom uses
the Bernoulli Equation and Reynolds Number-based
relationships for pipe friction calculation.
