Jessup, Maryland based Dynaflow, Inc.® was founded in 1988 by Dr. Georges L. Chahine and has established a reputation for quality R&D and testing work. The company pursues an inter-disciplinary approach to problems using a combination of scientific tools to achieve results covering diverse areas of research: Hydrodynamics, Cavitation, Bubble Dynamics, Underwater Explosion, Liquid Remediation, Material Testing, etc.

DF_Contour is a useful tool introduced by Dynaflow that generates publication-ready graphs and contours from numerical and experimental data. It produces color graphic representations of various data types, including vector and scalar fields, shapes, curves, and markers. It can also generate animations of a succession of color maps.

Users can view 16 different data sets simultaneously. It contains a comprehensive color palette, which can be defined by the user, and it can create vector and scalar color contour plots.

The software is easy to use. It reads data from simple user-generated ASCII file format. To identify the type of data and how to represent it, DF-Contour requires a simple one-word descriptor (i.e. #vector or #scalar) at the beginning of each data set. The software is intuitive and follows the familiar Windows interface and commands.

Engineers and Researchers at Dynaflow use this tool to represent results from laboratory experiments and to analyze the results of fluid dynamic programs such as 2DYNAFS and 3DYNAFS developed by the company.
