UNIVERSITY PROGRAM
Flow Solutions offers a strong University Program to provide
graduate, undergraduate and research students with access to our
products at a fraction of the commercial fee. NEWPAN
is especially suitable for usage in a university environment
thanks to its low computational overheads and ease of use.
We are proud to have contributed to pure research in addition to
applied engineering, for example studies of animal motion through air and water.
