Understanding the motion of liquids and gasses is crucial in many branches of engineering. Until recently, studies of fluids in motion were confined to the laboratory, but with the rapid growth in processing power of the personal computer, software applications now bring numerical analysis and solutions of flow problems to the desktop. In addition, the use of common interfaces and workflow processes make fluid dynamics accessible to designers as well as analysts.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an integral part of the engineering design and analysis environment of many companies who require the ability to predict the performance of new designs or processes before they are ever manufactured or implemented.
CFD Solutions from ANSYS, Inc. include ANSYS CFX and FLUENT software.
Fluid dynamics is used in industries including aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, power generation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, biomedical, oil and gas, marine and many others. From ventilation comfort in large buildings to the tiniest scale in micro-pumps and nanotechnology, a wide range of problems can be addressed due to the scalable nature of fluid dynamics. Specialized models for combustion, reacting flows and radiation, rotating machinery, electronics cooling and many other applications, help provide the insight into equipment and processes required to increase production, improve longevity and decrease waste.
