OVERVIEW In Ansys 2023 R1, the Fluids product line is pushing the envelope of performance, fidelity, sustainability, and productivity for computational fluids dynamics (CFD) simulations. The full release of the multi-GPU solver in Fluent is unleashing the power of multiple GPUs for a broad spectrum of applications and the accurate hydrogen modelling throughout its value chain is helping to address comprehensively the sustainability challenges in transportation and energy industries. Workflow and automation improvements across the entire product line are resulting in faster, more efficient simulations, thus reducing the design cycles. To see which feature can benefit you, check out the detailed list below. RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS Ansys Fluent • Run broad spectrum of complex industrial applications natively on GPUs substantially reducing solve time and total power consumption, with results showing 6 high-end GPUs provide the same performance as more than 2,000 CPUs. o This full release added support for species transport, non-stiff reacting flows and enhanced numeric for LES simulations. o Support for sliding mesh and compressible flows simulations has also been added in addition to the full released features (beta). • The new Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Alkaline electrolysis models for green hydrogen production and the extended Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEMFC) and Solid Oxide (SOFC) models for hydrogen consumption in Fuel Cells enable accurate hydrogen simulations throughout its entire value chain. • A new embedded workflow for parametric design optimization and morphing enables to run parametric studies and design optimization, including morphing, directly within the Fluent interface thus speeding up design cycles. • A new embedded PyConsole brings PyFluent directly in the Fluent interface with support for centralized Python journaling, full scheme/TUI to python journal translation and usability features like auto-complete and quick search of Fluent commands (beta). • A Virtual Blade Model (VBM) includes the effects of 3D rotors as momentum source terms in the governing equations, increasing automation and productivity for aerospace and energy applications (beta). • Access High-Speed Numerics (HSN) within the Fluent Aero Workspace with seamless setup and improved robustness and convergence for all flight regimes.
