FLUENT 6 provides leading-edge functionality with a robust and intuitive, yet powerful, unstructured framework for modeling all of the critical components in internal combustion engine design including fixed-lift port flow analysis, fuel injection and detailed transient moving valve and piston simulations.
FLUENT’s usability raises the industry standard for modeling complex problems that involve moving geometry, such as IC engines or fuel injectors. Our innovative “dynamic-mesh” model requires the user only to set-up the initial mesh and specify the motion of the boundaries and FLUENT automatically changes the mesh to follow the motion as the transient simulation proceeds. FLUENT’s dynamic-mesh model is compatible with our expansive suite of combustion and spray models.
FLUENT’s robust cavitation model can resolve highly cavitating flows even for very high pressure conditions such as those that occur in high-pressure diesel injectors.
