A new set of benchmark cases covering a large range of problem sizes, physical models and solvers representing typical industry usage is defined to comprise the updated FLUENT benchmarks suite. The cases range in size from a few 100 thousand cells to more than 100 million cells. Both the segregated and coupled implicit solvers are involved, as well as hexahedral, mixed and polyhedral cell cases. This broad coverage is expected to demonstrate the breadth of FLUENT performance on a variety of hardware platforms and test cases.

The performance of a CFD code will depend on several factors, including size and topology of the mesh, physical models, numerics and parallelization, compilers and optimization, in addition to performance characteristics of the hardware where the simulation is performed. The principal objective of this benchmark suite is to provide comprehensive and fair comparative information of the performance of FLUENT on available hardware platforms.

FLUENT performance data on current, older and prototype releases of the code is accessible from this page. Please follow the appropriate link on the right for benchmark information on various platforms.

Note that the posted prototype versions are not tested and validated by Fluent Inc.. Such extensions may become part of future FLUENT releases, but there is no guarantee.
