Ansys Fluent

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software

Ansys Fluent is widely regarded as one of the top Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software tools available. Ansys Fluent is highly regarded for many reasons and capabilities, some of which are listed below:

Advanced Solver Technology. Ansys Fluent is known for its robust solver capabilities, including support for a wide range of flow physics, such as turbulent, laminar, compressible, and incompressible flows.

Comprehensive Physical Models. It includes a broad set of models for different types of physical phenomena, including heat transfer, chemical reactions, multiphase flows, and more. This makes it versatile for various applications.

Support for High-Performance Computing (HPC).  Ansys Fluent is optimized for HPC environments, allowing users to solve complex problems faster by leveraging parallel processing capabilities that scale, nearly linearly, through thousands of cores.

User-Friendly Interface. Ansys Fluent features a single, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that makes setting up simulations, solving, and interpreting results more accessible.

Integration with Other Ansys Tools.  Ansys Fluent integrates well with other Ansys products like Ansys Mechanical, Ansys HFSS, and Ansys Discovery, facilitating a comprehensive simulation workflow across different domains.  The coupling in the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations with Ansys Mechanical is second to none. 

Extensive Post-Processing Tools.  Ansys Fluent provides powerful tools for analyzing and visualizing simulation results, which helps in extracting valuable insights from complex data.  In addition, Ansys Ensight may be utilized for large transient models for the fastest methods available for documenting your work. 

Customization and Scripting. It allows for extensive customization through scripting (using Ansys Fluent’s TUI or Python), enabling users to automate tasks and extend functionality.
