Flow Modeling Solutions for the Oil & Gas Industries
For over two decades, Fluent has provided modeling technology and engineering expertise for applications in the chemical, petrochemical (CPI/HPI), and process industries. Engineers working in these areas have to solve tough problems in complex geometries with relative ease. Today, Fluent's software products and services are used routinely alongside experiments, correlations, and other analysis methodologies to help engineers better understand their flow-related issues and designs. The insight gained reveals opportunities for increased capacity, improved product quality, lower energy costs and the ability to meet regulatory concerns through process and equipment performance optimization, shortened design cycles, and a reduction in troubleshooting risks.

“Bechtel's Advanced Simulations and Analysis Group has been using Fluent for nearly 10 years. It has become an essential analysis tool in our engineering design and construction business. We use CFD in several of our business units, applying it to nuclear waste processing and storage, weapons decommissioning, mining and metals projects, power plant design, and oil, gas & chemical projects. Fluent's strong point is its ability to solve problems with complicated physics quickly. Flexibility is another a important feature. We often tailor our simulations to specific needs with Fluent's User Defined Functions, custom field functions, and journaling capabilities. I cannot imagine any complicated engineering project proceeding with out the use of CFD analysis.”
“We utilize FLUENT to study the wave-motion-induced fluid sloshing inside oilfield separators to be installed on deep water platforms. Our research work has benefited from a better understanding of the fluid hydrodynamics, which allows us to quickly redesign vessel internals and maximize separation efficiency. Applying CFD strategically, we can ensure that NATCO stays at the leading edge of handling the ever-demanding needs of the oil and gas industry.”
