Overview

Ansys FreeFlow is a Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation software focused on single-phase free-surface flow modeling for engineering applications. It provides realistic representation of free-surface physics that are difficult to capture with mesh-based methods.

Key features

• Multi-GPU solver optimized for large-scale SPH simulations
• Support for implicit incompressible and weakly compressible solver formulations
• Surface tension and thermal modeling capabilities
• Pre/post scripting and automation for industrial workflows

Solver & performance

• Scalable GPU-based solver handling millions of SPH elements
• Efficient memory and compute distribution for multi-GPU setups
• Options for incompressible and weakly compressible formulations to balance accuracy and speed

Integration & workflow

• Coupling with Ansys EnSight for visualization and analysis
• APIs and scripting for pre-processing, batch runs and post-processing
• Export options for data exchange with CAE tools and measurement datasets

Typical applications

• Hydraulic engineering, spill and wave impact studies
• Marine sloshing, tanker and tank filling simulations
• Industrial free-surface processes and thermal-fluid interactions
