Corporate Profile
 
Fluent Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aavid Thermal Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: AATT) and is the world leader in the rapidly growing field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for the analysis of fluid flow problems. CFD software is design and simulation software that predicts fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related phenomena.
 
Engineers in leading corporations world-wide use Fluent's software, problem solving support, and consulting services for detailed product development, design optimization, troubleshooting, scale-up and retrofitting. Fluent's software significantly reduces engineering cost, while improving the final design of products. Applications of CFD range from design of electronic components and systems to automotive components design, and from combustion system design to process plant troubleshooting.
 
With 14 years of experience in the CFD software business, Fluent is both the market leader and the technology leader in this rapidly expanding field. Fluent's mission is to provide outstanding CFD software and services and work closely with our customers to solve their fluid flow
problems.
 
Over the past decade, the use of CFD has expanded significantly. Today, CFD is an accepted analysis and design tool in nearly all industries. The automotive industry uses CFD to study aerodynamic flow patterns, engine cooling, and climate control systems, for example. In the
electronics industry, CFD predicts air flow and temperature distribution in electronics enclosures, disk drives, and silicon manufacturing. Chemical companies utilize CFD to study mixing processes and heat or mass transfer equipment. CFD is used to optimize designs of
environmental equipment and to design power generation systems that meet today's emission requirements. These are just a few of the many applications of CFD analysis. If it flows, we can probably analyze it!
 
CFD allows you to predict fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction and related phenomena. By solving the fundamental equations governing fluid flow processes, CFD provides information on important flow characteristics such as pressure loss, flow distribution and mixing rates. CFD analysis complements traditional testing and experimentation, providing you with added insight and confidence in your designs. The results are better designs, lower risk and faster time to the marketplace for your product or process.

Fluent's CFD software takes you through the entire modeling process: from geometry definition to computation to analysis of the results. Starting with a description of your fluid system, you can build a computer model quickly and easily, predict the flow behavior using the solver technology best suited to your problem and obtain the information required for critical design decisions.

Fluent's software is used today at over 1800 sites worldwide. Our users are researchers, analysts, designers, field engineers - engineers in all parts of the organization whose problems involve fluid flow. CFD is used for early conceptual studies of new designs, for detailed product development, for scale-up, for troubleshooting and for system retrofitting. If your problems include fluid flow, you can and should be using CFD software from Fluent.
