HIGHLIGHTS

Discover the best fluid simulation tools available on the market within an efficient and customizable workspace.

Accelerate your pre- and post-processing with streamlined workflows for meshing and application setups.

Fluent features customizable, task-based workflows for pre-processing to accelerate the process of generating high-quality meshes ready for CFD. These workflows apply to both clean and dirty CAD. Application workflows are streamlined to reduce the number of clicks and panels the user has to navigate. These workflows include multiphase modeling, batteries, shape optimization, aerodynamics, and much more.

Advance the design and safety of your batteries with fast and accurate simulation. Electrochemistry can be used to predict aging and lifespan. Thermal management and battery thermal runaway can be simulated to ensure optimal performance and safety. A Reduced Order Model (ROM) can be created by extracting key thermal characteristics to analyze temperature in just seconds.

Cooling of electric motors is critical when transitioning to higher power and high-efficiency equipment. Fluent can be used to identify the appropriate cooling mechanism for an electric motor. Optimize this method, whether it is natural cooling, water cooling, or spray cooling, to ensure that motor efficiency is not compromised and that the magnets are not damaged.

A wide range of turbulence models is available to choose the right one for your application. Fluent offers a comprehensive selection of turbulence models, including the Generalized k-ω (GEKO) model. GEKO is a groundbreaking concept with adjustable coefficients that can be tailored to different flow regimes.

Simulate multiphase flows with high accuracy, including gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-solid flows, particle flows, and even DEM. Different modeling approaches are required when transitioning from single-phase to multiphase flow applications, and Ansys fully understands this.

To help you predict these complex flows with precision, we offer a wide range of models for gas, liquid, solid, particle, and even MNA (Multiphase Network Approach) flows, ensuring the most accurate results.

Predict fluid-structure interactions accurately under the influence of pressure and/or thermal loads. Solve your fluid-structure interaction (FSI) challenge to ensure your product is safe, reliable, and optimized. Fluent can solve FSI problems independently and integrates with Ansys Mechanical for the most complex simulations.

Accurate combustion models enable a better understanding of system performance and flow phenomena. Ensuring precise combustion is critical for the accurate mixing of turbulence, chemistry, and their interaction. Fluent offers validated, high-fidelity reactive flow models for your combustion applications.
