GPU-Driven CFD for Automotive and Off-Road Mobility Applications

Overview

Automotive engineers face a wide spectrum of fluid dynamics challenges—from external aerodynamics and thermal management to highly transient, free-surface flows such as rain/water intrusion, lubrication, and splash dynamics. This creates challenges where engineers need to capture a wide range of physics across numerous applications with speed and fidelity. GPU acceleration offers exciting solutions where large-scale models and mesh sizes can be solved and simulated in hours at no loss of fidelity—creating more time for the work that really matters: design optimization and analysis.

What Attendees Will Learn

This webinar explores how automotive engineers can leverage a GPU-accelerated, multi-physics strategy using Ansys Fluent for CFD, Ansys Rocky for DEM and Ansys FreeFlow for SPH studies—and how these tools can be used together to enhance real-world accuracy. You will learn:

• How Ansys Fluent enables high-fidelity simulations of aerodynamics, acoustics, heat transfer,  battery thermal management and oil cooled electric motors with the scalability of GPU computing, dramatically reducing turnaround time for large, complex models. 
• How Ansys FreeFlow provides fast, meshless modeling in early design stages for  free surface flows — such as gearbox, electric motor, sensor cleaning and water wading that are difficult to capture with traditional mesh-based approaches.
• How Ansys Rocky quickly and accurately simulates the behavior of different shaped and sized particles in applications like calendering in battery manufacturing processes, snow deposition, filtration, tire design, surface wear on equipment, debris accumulation, and more.

Together, these tools form a complementary workflow, allowing engineers to tackle both continuum and particle-based flow regimes within a unified simulation strategy. Join us to learn how combining Fluent, Rocky and FreeFlow can expand your simulation capability, accelerate development cycles, and deliver more reliable automotive designs.
