Get StartedAnsys computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions give you confidence in the optimal performance of your product even before you make the first prototype.
With Ansys CFD software, you can model and simulate all fluid processes, including fluid-structure multiphysics interactions. Projects well-suited to this powerful software include automobile engine gas combustion, chemical solution movement through pores in a shale gas formation, jet engine turbine air passage, and heat transfer among printed circuit board components.
CFD Applications
Single Phase, Non-Reacting Flows
Fluid flow simulations need comprehensive, accurate turbulent flow models. Choose Ansys CFD software solutions for any application, including steady-state and advanced scale-resolving models.

Shape Optimization
Use smart technologies to optimize shape design with Ansys CFD products. Reduce pressure drag/drop or minimize or maximize heat transfer and morph elements of your design with smart shape optimization technologies, completing projects more quickly.
High Rheology Material
R&D teams in polymer, metals, glass, and cement processing industries use Ansys Polyflow for design and optimization in processes such as extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, fiber drawing, glass forming, and concrete shaping.
HPC-Fluids
Solve large-scale, complex CFD models more quickly and cost-effectively with Ansys High-Performance Computer (HPC) parallel processing. Ansys HPC operates at 80% efficiency with just 5,000 cells per CPU core, providing superior and proven scalability.
Fluid Structure Interaction
Engineers must understand fluid force impact on surrounding equipment and its subsequent performance. Choose Ansys multiphysics solutions to solve challenges in fluid-structure interaction.
Thermal FSI
Not controlling heat can cause safety problems and poor performance, but laboratory analyses can be time consuming and expensive. Save time and money by easily modeling complex thermal management projects with Ansys multiphysics solutions.
Simulation Aircraft Icing
Icing is a critical aspect for the safety of aircraft design, but achieving regulatory certification takes time and involves icing tunnels, flight testing, and simulation models. Regulatory changes and awareness of high-altitude ice crystals and supercooled large droplets also impact time to market.
