Peak Performance for an Electric Vehicle
Using Ansys Fluent, VW engineers optimize battery design to push the limits of EV performance.
Solving the battery challenge virtually through simulation —instead of building a series of physical prototypes—helped Volkswagen accomplish their goal in the short time frame they were given.
The Pikes Peak International Climb is a rigorous test for the world’s best electric vehicles. Within a year, Volkswagen Motorsport engineers had to design and manufacture a high-performance EV race car. Volkswagen engineers turned to Ansys Fluent to validate and optimize their battery design.
The electrical performance of a battery is dependent on temperature. Developing an accurate thermal model can provide valuable insight prior to testing. Using Ansys Fluent, the engineers at VW had a streamlined approach to an in-depth problem. Fluent was able to quickly import the massive and complex battery geometry, which gave engineers more time to run high-level multi-physics simulation and optimize the design. VW went on to set a new overall and EV course record.
What's New
New Ansys Fluent License
Access industry-leading features at an attractive price
A brand new ‘Pro’ version of Fluent is available this release at an attractive price point. This version tailors the user-friendly interface for less complex CFD simulations by reducing the physics capabilities exposed to the user.
Overset Meshing
Access industry-leading features at an attractive price
A streamlined overset meshing workflow reduces meshing time from days to hours for complex assemblies or models with moving parts. Create the complete mesh and troubleshoot mesh connectivity within the same workflow. 30% performance gains can be seen from solver improvements.
High-Speed Flows
Solve high Mach number flows with strong shocks more easily
New proprietary high-speed numerics enable the reliable solution of high Mach number flows without reducing accuracy. High-speed thermal non-equilibrium effects can be accounted for with the newly added two-temperature model.
Advanced Physics Modeling
New capabilities for multiphase flows and gas turbine combustors
Efficiently simulate break-up, pooling and thinning of multiphase flows with automatic transitions between models including DPM, VOF, EWF and LWF. For combustion liner effusion cooling, a perforated wall model simulates thousands of orifices without having to mesh each individual hole.
Acoustics Advancements
Major enhancements for accurately simulating acoustics
Accurately predict automotive cabin noise by coupling Fluent aeroacoustics with Ansys Mechanical acoustics. Ansys VRXPERIENCE Sound tools are available in Fluent to process CFD aeroacoustic results. Simulate sound absorbing walls and improve designs by identifying local noise sources.
Productivity Enhancements
Set up, run and analyze simulations better than ever
Simulation reports now make it possible for you to summarize and share your simulation setup and results in HTML or PDF format. Create combined views of plots and animations with embedded graphics windows.

Accelerate your pre- and post-processing with streamlined workflows for meshing and application setups.
Fluent has customizable, task-based workflows for pre-processing to help accelerate the process of generating a high-quality CFD-ready mesh. These workflows are for both clean and dirty CAD. Application workflows are streamlined to help reduce the amount of clicks and panels a user has to deal with. These workflows include multiphase modeling, batteries, shape optimization, aerodynamics and more.
Advance your battery design and safety with rapid, accurate simulation. Electrochemistry can be used for age and life prediction. Thermal management and runaway can be simulated to ensure top performance and safety. A reduced order model (ROM) can be created by extracting key thermal characteristics to analyze temperature in seconds.
Electric motor cooling is critical as you move to higher power, high-efficiency equipment. Fluent can be used to find the appropriate cooling mechanism for an electric motor. Optimize this method, whether it's natural, water or spray cooled, to ensure motor efficiency is not impacted and magnets are not damaged.
A wide range of turbulence models are available to choose the right model for your application. Fluent offers a wide range of turbulence models including the industry-leading Generalized k-ω (GEKO) model. GEKO is a revolutionary concept with tunable coefficients that can be adjusted to different flow regimes.
Accurately simulate multiphase flows including gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-solid, particle flows and even DEM. Different modeling approaches are needed as you move from single to multiphase flow applications, and Ansys understands this. To help accurately predict these challenging flows, we offer a wide range of models for gas, liquid, solid, particle flows and even DEM to get you the most accurate results.
Accurate combustion models allow you to gain insight into system performance and flow phenomena.
Assuring you have accurate combustion is critical for the precise mix of turbulence, chemistry and the interaction between them. Fluent offers accurate and validated reacting flow models for your combustion applications.
Accurately predict interactions between fluids and solids from pressure and/or thermal loads. Solve your fluid-structure interaction challenge to make sure your product is safe, reliable and optimized. Fluent can solve FSI problems standalone and couples with Ansys Mechanical for the most complex simulations.
