OVERVIEW In Ansys 2025 R1, the Fluids product line continues to deliver critical enhancements to meet the performance and productivity needs of our customers. The Fluent GPU Solver now supports additional physics, including the FGM combustion model, particle and droplet modeling with the discrete phase model (DPM), surface-to-surface radiation and more. The combination of these new capabilities provides a complete solution for GPU-based gas turbine combustion simulations. The recently launched Fluent Web Interface now supports end-to-end workflows from meshing through solving to post-processing. Setup operations in the Fluent desktop GUI are 3-500X faster for cases with many zones, greatly reducing pre-processing times for complex assemblies. Finally, advancements across Thermal Desktop, Rocky and CFX include dramatic performance improvements, new multi-physics integrations, and additional optimization options. RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS Ansys Fluent • Expanded Use Cases for the Fluent GPU Solver: New physics supported in 2025 R1 include FGM combustion, FW-H acoustics, surface to surface radiation, discrete phase modeling (DPM), compressible liquids and more. This will enable new use cases to run in the Fluent GPU Solver, including combustion, acoustics, electronics cooling, heat exchanger studies, and more. • Fluent User Interface/User Experience Enhancements: In 2025 R1, watertight meshing (WTM) is now available in beta within the Fluent Web Interface to continue to drive toward the vision of an end-to-end workflow within a single UI. In addition, your web browser URL can now be delivered directly to your inbox for ease of use. Graphics Ansys Fluids 2025 R1 Highlights
