Fluid Dynamics

ANSYS offers a comprehensive fluid dynamics solution for modeling fluid flow and other related physical phenomena, including both general purpose software and focused products to address specific industry applications.

Unparalleled CFD capabilities from the CFX and FLUENT solvers, integrated within the ANSYS Workbench framework, enable you to design and optimise new fluid-related equipment and troubleshoot existing installations. Viscous and turbulent, internal and external flows can be calculated with ease, with an industry-leading set of turbulence models that can be extended to flow-induced noise predictions.

Bi-directional connections with all popular CAD systems enable seamless geometry import, automatic parametric studies and optimisation. The speed of ANSYS CFD simulations can be minimised through highly efficient parallel processing capabilities to exploit multiple core PCs and High Performance Computing (HPC). Combined with ANSYS Structural Mechanics or Electromagnetics solvers, ANSYS CFD software can undertake fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and other multiphysics simulations.

Ansys develops the most comprehensive set of fluid dynamics simulation tools available for product and process design, development and research. With a common workflow and user environment, you can easily upgrade between appropriate solutions as your requirements evolve.
