Brimming with Best-in-Class Technologies Combining the well-known expertise of Fluent and CFX, ANSYS solutions cover the entire spectrum of fluid dynamics analysis. From leading-edge turbulence and reacting flows to multiphase problems such as solidification and gasification, free surface, boiling, cavitation, wet steam, slurry, real gas, noise, solidification, and melting, we deliver industry-leading capabilities to meet your most challenging CFD simulation needs. More sophisticated and accurate physical models drive more-authentic CFD simulations that can reveal new levels of insight into product designs. The ANSYS suite includes a variety of models for reacting and combusting flow (including surface and porous media reactions and discrete ordinates radiation models supporting entirely specular walls). So you can achieve reliable and efficient calculations, our CFD software uses industry-leading numerics to virtually represent all the physics happening in a process or device. Solutions include finite-volume solvers using both coupled and segregated methods for general fluid-flow modeling as well as a finite-element solver for viscous flows of complex fluids. ANSYS CFD solvers are designed to handle all types of meshes, with moving and deforming mesh capabilities, advanced multi-grid methods, and solution-based, adaptive remeshing functionality. Our tools deliver highly accurate results across all flow regimes — from hypersonic to creeping flows, Newtonian to non-Newtonian. The adjoint solver in ANSYS software provides specific information that is otherwise difficult to gather. Because adjoint solutions estimate the effect of a change prior to actually making the change, this exclusive capability adds to the speed of simulation. Though such added complexity can lead to longer turnaround time, engineers don't have to make trade-offs: The world-leading CFD suite offers both speed and accuracy. HPC and parallel computing provide powerful and scalable options — so you get more geometric detail, larger systems (such as a full 360-degree blade passage, not a single- blade passage), and more complex physics (for example, an unsteady turbulence rather than a steady turbulence model). The result is enhanced insight into product performance, insight that can't be gained any other way. This detailed understanding can yield enormous business benefits by revealing design issues that might lead to product failure or troubleshooting delays. Speedo® realized its product promise at the 2008 Olympics, where the majority of medals won and world records broken were achieved by competitors wearing swimsuits designed in part with our CFD software. Robust CFD tools from ANSYS represent the state of the art in fluid dynamics simulation.
