Fluent's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and services help minerals and metallurgical engineers to optimize and improve equipment, processes and plants, providing financial savings, environmental compliance and greater advantage in the global marketplace.

Metals

Fluent has extensive experience in a wide variety of metals such as aluminum, copper, gold, iron, lead, silver, steel and zinc, among others. Fluent CFD is routinely used by all of the largest metallurgical companies around the world to make design improvements without threatening existing production. Environmental and safety issues are addressed; time to market and energy consumption can be cut; and production level and product quality are increased. This is accomplished through numerical modeling. Also, by partnering with our customers who have expertise in the metals industry, we can develop our products in ways that are most valuable for them.

Minerals

Fluent's software and services have been used in activities such as the processing of industrial minerals, the recovery of precious stones, ore treatment, and more. By modeling, optimizing and improving processes such as classification, separation and filtration you can achieve greater efficiencies in your process throughput and performance advantages that impact both your bottom line and top line numbers.

Mining

For the mining industry, Fluent's software is used for activities such as quantifying accident or release scenarios and improving designs to meet environmental regulations without compromising your profitability.
