FLUENT is general-purpose CFD software ideally suited for incompressible and mildly compressible flows
Fluent Inc.eneral-purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ideally suited for incompressible and mildly compressible flows. Utilizing a pressure-based segregated finite-volume method solver, FLUENT contains physical models for a wide range of applications including turbulent flows, heat transfer, reacting flows, chemical mixing, combustion, and multiphase flows. FLUENT provides physical models on unstructured meshes, bringing you the benefits of easier problem setup and greater accuracy using solution-adaptation of the mesh.
FLUENT remains the preeminent tool for fluid flow analysis. With the most powerful model building tools available, a fully interactive interface that makes you more productive, and reliable physical models, FLUENT lets you visualize and achieve design excellence.
Ansys/FLUENT is a software package for computational fluid dynamics from Ansys Inc. The Ansys Academic Teaching Introductory license is purchased for HPC usage (up to 4 processors/job) and includes the following capabilities:
- Ansys Workbench (general workflow manager)l
- Ansys Fluent (Main, NOx, Continuous Fiber Module, MHD, and Population Balance except Fuel Cell Module and Polyflow)
- Ansys CFX (CFX-Pre, CFX-Solver Manager, CFD-Post, except Turbo Grid)
- Ansys CFD-Post is the post-processor for CFX and Fluent
- ICEM CFD (Meshing, Export)

Star CCM+
STAR-CCM+ is an entire engineering process for solving problems involving flow (of fluids or solids), heat transfer and stress.
STAR-CCM+ is unrivalled in its ability to tackle problems involving multi-physics and complex geometries. STAR-CCM+ has an established reputation for producing high-quality results in a single code with minimum user effort.
Designed to fit easily within your existing engineering process, STAR-CCM+ helps you to entirely automate your simulation workflow and perform iterative design studies with minimal user interaction.
The net result of this is that engineers get to spend more time actually analyzing engineering data and less time preparing and setting up simulations.
