HPC for ANSYS Fluent

🎓 Affordable Power for ANSYS Fluent: The Student’s CFD Companion

Big ideas shouldn’t be blocked by slow hardware. The Student’s CFD Companion gives students and academic researchers dedicated high-performance computing for ANSYS Fluent—so you can run 12–20 million cell cases in hours instead of days, without blowing your budget.

With dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2650 v2 CPUs delivering 16 cores / 32 threads, this system is tuned for the realities of coursework, theses, and lab research: fast iteration, stable long runs, and predictable results. All for just $260/month.

💻 High-Performance Configuration

Key Specifications

Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2650 v2 (16 cores, 32 threads, 2.60 GHz)

Architecture: Intel Ivy Bridge-EP

Workload Fit: Academic CFD/FEA, thermal-fluid studies, parametric sweeps

Performance Focus: Affordable parallel throughput + solid single-core speed

Why it works for students: Ivy Bridge-EP balances multi-threaded solver performance with responsive meshing and post-processing, so your entire workflow—pre, solve, post—feels smooth and predictable.

🚀 Built for 12–20 Million Cell ANSYS Fluent Models

Move beyond toy problems. This platform is optimized for medium-to-large meshes and advanced physics without queue times or throttling:

Advanced turbulence models: RANS, LES, DES

Multiphase and reacting flows: evaporation, cavitation, combustion

Transient studies: time-accurate aerodynamics and heat transfer

Design exploration: DOE, parametric sweeps, and optimization loops

Expect substantial cuts in wall-clock time versus typical desktops—enabling more iterations per week, better mesh resolution, and stronger convergence behavior.

🧠 Designed for Learning, Research, and Results

Dedicated resources: No waiting on shared campus clusters

Stable long runs: 24/7 reliability for overnight transients

Realistic scale: Tackle 12–20M cells for publishable fidelity

Time back: Turn “come back Monday” into “review tonight”
