Flow Modeling Solutions for the Power Generation Industry
For over twenty years, engineers in the power generation industry have relied on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software from Fluent to reduce development and retrofitting costs through simulation. Boilers, burners, furnaces, generators, nuclear reactors, and nuclear waste management are just a few of the power sources and associated equipment and processes that have benefited from this technology.

Customer Testimonials
“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.”
“Fluent has been at the forefront of some major power generation milestones in the last 25 years, providing unstructured meshes, preprocessing with CAD, multi-grid solvers, parallel processing, PDF combustion models, radiation models and powerful visualization tools.”
