HPC for ANSYS Fluent

⚙️ 48-Core Elite HPC for Enterprise-Level CFD

When computational fluid dynamics (CFD) pushes into ultra-high mesh counts and deeply coupled physics, you need hardware that scales without compromise. The 48-Core Elite HPC, built on dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 v4 processors, delivers 48 physical cores (96 threads) at 2.20 GHz for true enterprise-class throughput—accelerating ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+ across 12+ million-element cases and well beyond.

Engineered for industrial programs and cutting-edge research, it tackles massive multiphysics, large-scale optimization, and digital-twin workloads with the stability needed for weeks-long transients and automated pipelines.

💻 High-Performance Configuration

Key Specifications

Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2690 v4 (48 cores, 96 threads, 2.20 GHz)

Architecture: Intel Broadwell-EP

Target Scale: 12M+ elements (steady & transient, multi-domain)

Performance Focus: High parallel efficiency + sustained 24/7 reliability

Why it excels: Broadwell-EP combines high core density, large caches, and strong memory/I-O bandwidth, enabling efficient partitioning for very large meshes while keeping solver communication overhead in check.

🚀 Built for Enterprise-Scale CFD & Research

This platform is tuned for programs where resolution, turnaround, and repeatability drive value:

Complete aircraft/automotive aerodynamics with high-lift and aero-thermal coupling

Multiphase & reacting flows with detailed chemistry (VOF/Eulerian, cavitation, combustion)

Digital twins for predictive maintenance and design-in-the-loop workflows

Large-scale optimization (DOE, adjoint/parametric sweeps, response surfaces)

High-resolution climate & environmental modeling with fine spatial/temporal fidelity

Run bigger meshes, longer transients, and more variants per week—without saturating resources or sacrificing solver stability.

🧠 Architecture Advantages (End-to-End Throughput)

48 cores / 96 threads: Dense parallelism for large partitions and multi-run pipelines

Broadwell-EP memory & cache: Smoother convergence on tight CFLs and stiff physics

NUMA-aware scaling: Low-latency inter-socket communication for big models

I/O headroom: Fast checkpoints, post-processing, and data streaming for digital-twin stacks

Datacenter-grade reliability: Designed for continuous operation and automated job queues

🔧 Practical Tuning Tips (quick wins)

Partition sizing: Start near 0.6–0.9M cells per process; retune after a pilot run

Solver order: Stabilize first-order → switch to second-order for final accuracy

Time-step strategy: CFL-guided ramps + dual-time stepping for stiff transients

Targeted refinement: Focus on shear layers, shocks, recirculation, and thermal gradients

Checkpoint cadence: Frequent autosaves for long campaigns and restartable studies

💼 Ideal Use Cases

Aerospace & automotive R&D divisions demanding high-fidelity aero/thermal results

Process & energy industries modeling combustors, turbines, and heat-exchange networks

Climate & environmental institutes running high-resolution regional models

Industrial digital-twin programs needing deterministic, repeatable compute at scale

🏁 Final Thoughts

The 48-Core Elite HPC (Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 @ 2.20 GHz) is the CPU backbone for enterprise-level CFD—combining parallel density, solver stability, and I/O headroom to deliver faster iterations and higher-fidelity outcomes on 12M+ element cases.
