	2D model of a Vertical Wind Turbine
	Velocity contour generated by the interaction between a rotating wind turbine and the wind. The simulation is made in Ansys Fluent and the flow field is obtained as a combination of a stationary domain and a moving mesh inside with a simple wind turbine model. View animation
	CFD Analysis of Fluidised Sloshing
	Free surface movement of liquid fluid in a tank under an horizontal acceleration. The animation shows the interaction between the fluid and two baffle plates. View animation
	Transonic Flow Around a 2D Airfoil
	This animation shows the pressure of the flow field generated by a transonic flow around a 2D airfoil. To better capture the shockwave the Ansys Fluent mesh adaptation tool was used. Depending on a specific parameter (the pressure gradient, in this case) the mesh was refined only in some locations in order to improve the quality of the solution. View animation
	Water Boiling
	The animation shows a container of water at the temperature near the boiling point. The temperature of a portion of the bottom wall is above the water boiling temperature. Because of the heat transfer between the wall and the fluid, vapor bubbles form and rise due to the buoyancy. The vapor escapes through the free surface. View animation
	Multiphase Analysis Using ANSYS Fluent
	Fluid flow using ANSYS Fluent software to simulate liquid movement down through a pipe towards and filling a generic tank. View animation

	General IDAC Demonstration using ANSYS Workbench
	This analysis highlights the importance of considering the effects of preload on the natural frequencies of a system. View video
	British Petroleum - Scraper Pig Analysis
	This ANSYS LS-DYNA analysis demonstrates that a scraper pig, which is used to clean oil and gas pipelines, can negotiate a check valve. The forces generated between the pig and the clapper and between the clapper and the valve body are also evaluated to check the integrity of the assembly. Other analyses also show whether elongated pigs can negotiate wye pieces. More

	Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis
	The top half of the window shows an electro-mechanical beam used as MEMS switch deflected by a differential voltage applied to the transducer elements underneath the switch. The movement is damped by air which flows through the two holes and the sides. The structural and fluidic problem has been solved using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in ANSYS.
	Composite Analysis Using ANSYS Composite Module
	This is a parametric model of a woven composite fabric. This would be included in an ANSYS Composite Module. It represents a 2x2 unit cell twill fabric, which is the minimum repeatable unit of a fabric, made of fibres woven in two directions embedded in resin.
