Can complex geometries be validated for fluid performance?
Yes, Ansys fluids products simulate pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and rotating machinery accurately under realistic operating conditions.
Can particle interactions and granular flows be simulated?
Yes, Rocky DEM supports discrete element modeling and coupled CFD-DEM for powders, slurries, and industrial granular processes.
Can I perform design exploration and optimization?
Yes, parametric studies, topology, and shape optimization allow rapid improvement of flow systems and energy efficiency.
Does Ansys support aero- and hydrodynamics?
Yes, including drag, lift, free-surface modeling, wave effects, and transient external flows for vehicles and vessels.
Can I simulate multiphase and particle-laden flows?
Yes, CFD and Rocky DEM handle gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, reactive, and particle-laden flows with erosion and deposition prediction.
Can thermal and conjugate heat transfer effects be included?
Yes, Ansys supports CHT and coupled thermal-fluid simulations for heat exchangers, electronics cooling, and multiphysics systems.
Can valves and flow-control devices be modeled?
Yes, including pressure drop, cavitation, transient flow, and fluid-structure interaction in valves and throttling devices.
Can I simulate pumps, turbines, and compressors?
Yes, BladeModeler and VistaTF enable performance prediction, rotor-stator interaction, and tip clearance analysis for turbomachinery.
Does Ansys support advanced turbulence modeling?
Yes, including RANS, LES, DES, and hybrid turbulence models for capturing complex flow behavior.
Can I perform steady-state and transient CFD simulations?
Yes, Ansys CFD allows both steady-state and transient simulations for single-phase, multiphase, compressible, and incompressible flows.
