FLUENT 6.0 Wins Tech Award At Premier Global Automotive Show.


Business/Technology Editors

LEBANON, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2002

Fluent Inc., the world's leading Computational Fluid Dynamics Computational fluid dynamics

The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve
 (CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics ) software provider, announces that its newest release, FLUENT 6.0, has won a Tech 2002 award from Automotive Engineering Noun 1. automotive engineering - the activity of designing and constructing automobiles

 International Magazine (http://www.sae.org/automag/techawards/2002/page3.htm).

These Awards are presented to the suppliers of the top automotive products and technologies showcased at the SAE 2002 World Congress as voted for by the 40,000 visitors to the show. SAE 2002 is a showcase for the products, services, and technologies available to the global automotive community. The SAE World Congress is the largest original equipment (OE) parts, components and service exhibition in the world.

The newly released FLUENT 6, which is built on Fluent Inc.'s core unstructured CFD technology platform, expands Fluent's industry standard for CFD automotive applications to include deicing De-icing is the process of removing ice from a surface.

Anti-icing is the process of preventing ice from forming on a surface.

Deicing can be accomplished by mechanical methods (scraping), through the application of heat, by use of chemicals designed to lower
 and water runoff, fuel tank studies, HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) In the home or small office with a handful of computers, HVAC is more for human comfort than the machines. In large datacenters, a humidity-free room with a steady, cool temperature is essential for the trouble-free  systems and components, painting, and flow-induced noise. Major enhancements in turbomachinery modeling and underhood thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include:
  • Differential scanning calorimetry
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis
  • Thermomechanical analysis
 also provide economical design testing options for automotive engineers. A moving/deforming mesh capability, released in beta form with this version, is one of many building blocks in the release intended to tackle challenging IC engine modeling.

Pricing and Availability

FLUENT 6.0 is available on UNIX UNIX

Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics).
, NT, and Linux platforms. It is provided at no additional cost to all current FLUENT users who have chosen to purchase upgrades along with their FLUENT license. FLUENT license fees are determined by the number of processes that a user requires. Users may also purchase unlimited usage support.
