Fluent

Fluent is a Finite Volume based code for fluid flow simulations and heat as well as mass transfer simulations. Several state-of-the-art turbulence and rheological models are available. Fluent can be run either in interactive mode using a graphical user interface (GUI) or in text-command driven batch mode without GUI and graphics.

Fluent can be used for

  • analysis of incompressible or compressible, steady-state or transient, inviscid, laminar, and turbulent flows
  • flows with Newtonian as well as non-Newtonian rheology
  • analysis of convective (natural and forced), coupled conduction/convective and radiation heat transfer
  • simulations using multiple moving reference frames, including sliding mesh interfaces and mixing planes for rotor/stator interaction modeling
  • flows chemical species mixing and reaction, including combustion sub models and surface deposition reaction models
  • flows with arbitrary volumetric sources of heat, mass, momentum, turbulence, and chemical species
  • Lagrangian trajectory calculations for a dispersed phase of particles/droplets/bubbles, including coupling with the continuous phase (drag, lift-forces on particles)
  • flow through porous media
  • two-phase flows, including cavitation
  • free-surface flows with complex surface shapes
  • one-dimensional fan/heat-exchanger performance simulations
