Fluent Inc. is developing, distributing
and supporting FLUENT, FIDAP and POLYFLOW, the three
general purpose CFD products widely used in the polymer
processing and metal industries. Using a finite volume
approach (FLUENT) or a finite element method (FIDAP),
these two codes cover a wide range of CFD applications
including the flow of polymer and metal but extending
to cooling processes, turbulent compressible air flow,
water cooling process, dust extraction, etc. POLYFLOW
is a finite-element based CFD package more specifically
dedicated to the polymer processing area with specific
features to deal with (co-) extrusion, including the
deformation of the extrudate and visco-elastic behavior
modeling, thermoforming and blow molding as well as
the simulation of the flow surrounding single screw
and twin screw extruders.
Fluent is the world leader in the rapidly growing
field of design and simulation software used to predict
fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction,
and related phenomena. Fluent's computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) software and consulting services are
used by engineers worldwide for detailed product development
and process improvement.
