HPC for ANSYS Fluent

⚙️ Premium 20-Core HPC for Professional CFD

When your deadlines are tight and fidelity can’t slip, you need hardware that blends high per-core speed with solid parallel throughput. The Premium 20-Core HPC, powered by dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2680 v2 (2.80 GHz), delivers exactly that balance for ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+.

With 20 physical cores (40 threads) at 2.80 GHz, this platform offers ~12% stronger single-core performance than comparable mid-range options—speeding up meshing, preprocessing, and post-processing while sustaining robust solver scaling on 6+ million-element meshes.

💻 High-Performance Configuration

Key Specifications

Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2680 v2 (20 cores, 40 threads, 2.80 GHz)

Architecture: Intel Ivy Bridge-EP

Mesh Scale: Efficient beyond 6M elements; scalable higher with smart partitioning

Workload Focus: Advanced turbulence, multiphase/combustion, transient CHT

Performance Edge: ~12% faster single-core vs. similar-class CPUs

Why it’s “premium”: You get the clock speed to keep interactive steps snappy and the core count to reduce wall-clock time in production CFD workflows.

🚀 Built for Professional CFD & Multiphysics

Ideal for organizations where accuracy, stability, and turnaround drive success:

Turbulence: RANS (k-ε, k-ω SST), transition models, hybrid RANS-LES, DES

Multiphase / Reacting: VOF/Eulerian, cavitation, sprays, combustion (EDM/FRC)

Thermal / CHT: Conjugate heat transfer with complex material stacks

Transient: Time-accurate aero/thermal events, startup/shutdown cycles

Design exploration: DOE, response surfaces, adjoint/parametric sweeps

Expect faster iteration for aerospace, automotive, HVAC, and biomedical applications—where more design variants per week mean better outcomes.

🧠 Architecture Advantages (End-to-End Throughput)

2.80 GHz base clock: Responsive meshing, geometry ops, and post-processing

20 cores / 40 threads: Efficient domain partitioning for 6M+ cell models

Cache & memory behavior: Smoother convergence on dense zones/tight CFLs

24/7 reliability: Stable for long transients and batch optimization queues
