 |
Polyhedral mesh on a Formula One race car using FLUENT 6.3 software. Polyhedral meshes allow the flexibility of an unstructured mesh to be applied to complex geometries without the overhead associated with a large tetrahedral mesh, resulting in faster convergence. |
 |
Contours of static pressure, pathlines and polyhedral mesh on an F18 aircraft modeled using FLUENT 6.3 technology. Polyhedral meshes allow the flexibility of an unstructured mesh to be applied to complex geometries without the overhead associated with a large tetrahedral mesh, resulting in faster convergence. |

Contours of velocity magnitude and polyhedral mesh inside a mixing tank modeled using the new pressure-based coupled solver in FLUENT 6.3 software. Polyhedral meshes allow the flexibility of an unstructured mesh to be applied to complex geometries without the overhead associated with a large tetrahedral mesh, resulting in faster convergence. For this case, the combination of the pressure-based coupled solver and a polyhedral mesh results in convergence that is more than 10 times faster compared with the standard pressure-based solver and a tetrahedral mesh. |

Particles launched from a mixing impeller blade are used to analyze the flow field behind the impeller blade, illustrating new particle injection options in FLUENT 6.3: the ability to release particles from a moving surface and the ability to release particles using the surface normal direction. These new options broaden the applicability of the discrete phase model. |
 |
Vortex-induced vibration on an offshore riser modeled using dynamic mesh and DES in FLUENT 6.3 software. This new release can automatically handle the boundary layer deformation during dynamic mesh simulations in which user-defined functions for the boundary deformation are utilized. |
 |
Anisotropic diffusion of a drug from a stent into a capillary wall modeled using FLUENT 6.3 software. Contours of drug concentration are shown. The ability to handle anisotropic diffusion of a user-defined scalar is new in FLUENT 6.3. |
|
Geometry for a two-stroke engine modeled using dynamic mesh and the new many-to-many sliding interfaces capability in FLUENT 6.3 software. Many-to-many sliding interfaces allow the user to model geometries that require several sliding interfaces to be paired with interfaces on the opposite side. This allows more complex geometries to be modeled using sliding mesh. |
 |
Nylon–air interface during mold filling of a plastic gear part predicted by the VOF model with CICSAM in FLUENT 6.3 software. The CICSAM discretization scheme offers more stability than the geo-reconstruct scheme for some situations and provides a more uniform CPU load in parallel than the geo-reconstruct scheme. CICSAM is particularly suitable for flows in which the viscosity ratio between the phases is high. |
