    Introduction

    Fluent is the world leader in the rapidly growing field of design and simulation software used to predict fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related phenomena. Fluent's general purpose software and consulting services are used by engineers in leading corporations worldwide for detailed product development, design optimization, troubleshooting, scale-up, and retrofitting.

    Conjugate Heat Transfer in a Fuel Rod Assembly


    Conclusion

    Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software lets you analyze your fluid flow problems in detail, faster than testing, at an earlier stage in the design cycle, for less money and with lower risk. This software has given a very good experience on working with a professional software with industrial application. The Fluent software though is not very accurate but still gives a very good start.
