Abstract:
Systems and methods for designing and optimizing tools are provided. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation model implemented by a processor is provided to simulate a fluid flow inside the tool to generate a particle density distribution of fluids inside the tool. The particle density distribution is converted to a spatial distribution of fluid concentration of the mixture which allows for high resolution visualization of fluid flow in the tool.
