Fluid Dynamics Solutions

ANSYS fluid dynamics is a comprehensive product suite for modeling fluid flow and other related physical phenomena. It offers unparalleled fluid flow analysis capabilities, providing all the tools needed to design and optimize new fluids equipment and to troubleshoot already existing installations. The ANSYS fluid dynamics suite contains both general purpose computational fluid dynamics software and additional specialized products to address specific industry applications.

The general purpose fluid analysis tools are the renowned ANSYS CFX and ANSYS FLUENT products, now also available together in the ANSYS CFD bundle. With ANSYS CFD, you have access to an unprecedented array of fluid flow physics models, allowing you to analyze your equipment with a great deal of confidence. ANSYS CFD technology is highly-scalable, allowing for efficient parallel calculations on thousands of processing cores. ANSYS CFD also includes the full-featured ANSYS CFD-Post fluid flow post-processing tool. This can be used for advanced quantitative analysis and high-quality visualizations. When ANSYS CFD is used in combination with ANSYS Mechanical it is eminently suitable to solve complex fluid-structure interaction problems.

ANSYS fluid dynamics products have a high degree of interoperability, and are designed to be fitted efficiently in your company’s Simulation Driven Product Development processes.

Simulation Examples

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an engineering method in which flow fields and other physics are calculated in detail for an application of interest. The CFD, or fluid simulation, results can be used as part of a Simulation Driven Product Development (SDPD) process to illustrate how a product or process operates, to troubleshoot problems, to optimize performance and to design new products. See below for more information on a broad range of analysis applications.
