"The ease-of-use and breadth of modeling capabilities available within FLUENT's CFD software have allowed us to quickly evaluate many different components at a design's conceptual stage while providing the accuracy necessary to optimize the chosen design. Through the timely application of CFD we were able to reduce the number of prototypes tested and the time to get our products to market."

-Darin Everett
Senior Engineer, Whirlpool Corporation

"The key advantage of CFD in oven design is that it makes it possible for us to evaluate a wide range of design alternative in a reasonable period of time. By using CFD to carefully control the convection-driven flow through the insulating compartment, we have been able to significantly reduce the size of the gap required to insulate the cavity from the outside surface, thereby optimizing critical design parameters prior to experimental validation."

-Prabhat Tekriwal
Manager of Product Analysis, Maytag

"The optimization process we put in place with CFD has given us the chance to redesign some features of the boiler hood, saving materials (7%) and reducing the flow rate (5%), and thus, reducing the cost of components all within only one year of using the software."

-Immergas S.P.A.

"Through an iterative process, we've been able to minimize recirculation and reverse flow zones from several mower designs. The results, according to experimental test results, are a substantial improvement in the quality of cut compared to previous designs."

-Francisco Saldarriaga
Project Engineer, Electrolux Home Products, North America

"FLUENT was the first CFD code to offer Dyson the flexibility of fully unstructured meshes without compromising accuracy in highly swirling flow conditions."

-Paul Hackwell
Senior R&D Engineer, Dyson, Ltd.
