FLUENT 6 Testimonials
"We benchmarked FLUENT 6.2 and a 3-D VOF model containing 700,000 nodes on an 8-CPU cluster. At the conclusion of the study, we found computational speed had increased 2 to 2.5 times due to the software alone. Needless to say, we are very satisfied with the results."
"FLUENT 6.2 puts HATCH in a better position in our industry to solve the wide variety of CFD applications arising out of the mining, metals, energy and infrastructure sectors. This major release offers HATCH significant, cutting-edge models, particularly in the area of multiphase modeling, that will greatly enhance our CFD 'toolkit'."
"I have found the new non-iterative time advancement (NITA) scheme to be quite beneficial in conducting transient simulations of exhaust system design. Solution times have been cut drastically allowing me to conduct parametric studies 3 to 4 times faster than previously."
"With complex models like VOF we noted considerable reduction in computational time. Using the 64-bit version on Opteron in conjunction with new hardware led to an increase in speed by a factor of 6!"
"FLUENT 6.2 is a significant step forward. It simplifies modeling of compressible hydraulic flow, and the solver's improved robustness allows me to run simulations for which I have not achieved convergence before. Being able to model liquids as compressible is a substantial benefit."
"FLUENT is a world-class code, and the 6.2 release offers many benefits. I have tested models for multiphase flow, heat transfer, and steady turbulence. I have found improvements in convergence rate, and have found the software very user-friendly. I use FLUENT day in and day out to save my company money."
"FLUENT 6.2 is easy to use and well-structured, and Fluent's support is the best. The support team is knowledgeable and responsive, and when sales and development are involved, responses are always well coordinated. I am very pleased with working with Fluent."
"Due to the complexity of our applications I was happy to see the many additional possibilities provided by FLUENT 6.2. In the course of my work I did not come across any theoretical or practical restrictions for the newly implemented models."
"Non-iterative time advancement (NITA) is a very useful feature for reducing simulation time with FLUENT 6.2. I used it in conjunction with the VOF model, and I was able to obtain my solutions much faster."
"I think that Fluent is on the right track. The partially premixed combustion model, applied to in-cylinder combustion in a hydrogen engine, is the answer for our task. Flame propagation also seems to be quite good, even in inhomogeneous charges."
"During a development project for the automotive industry, we simulated a drying process using FLUENT 6.2. The marked improvement in parallel performance enabled us to finish the project on time. I really appreciate working closely with the Fluent technical team, who provided professional advice quickly."
