Ansys Fluent Overview

What is Ansys Fluent?

Ansys Fluent is the industry leading computational fluid dynamics, or CFD software, renowned for its advanced physics modeling capabilities and outstanding accuracy. As a general-purpose CFD software, Fluent can be used to model fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, and more. Fluent offers a modern, user-friendly interface that streamlines the CFD process from pre- to post-processing within a single window workflow. Fluent is known for its advanced physics modeling capabilities, which include turbulence modeling, single and multiphase flows, combustion, battery modeling, fluid-structure interaction, and much more. Also known for its efficient HPC scaling, large models can easily be solved in Fluent on multiple processors on either CPU or GPU. Multiple solver options are available, including pressure-based and density-based CPU solvers to cover low-speed to hypersonic flows and a pressure-based native GPU solver.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

In ANSYS FLUENT fluid dynamics analysis, analysis can be performed under components such as air and water by creating a closed volume on the model.

It is very professional in mixing models for multiphysical fluids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

ANSYS FLUENT makes the solution of the model long in curves and small surfaces. In fact, it will be possible to make local fluids during running, both to control the desired area and to shorten the time. However, it is not possible in its current form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

In terms of fluid dynamics, both the auxiliary documents and the interface are very simple. Those who want to start using it can easily adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Fluent solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used the ANSYS FLUENT software to model the flow analysis of the car wheel cover. In the study, I determined the aerodynamic properties of the building against the wind. According to the results, I changed the design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
