ANSYS FLUENTand ANSYS CFX two solvers were developed independently and have a number of things in common, but they also have some significant differences. Both are control-volume based for high accuracy and rely heavily on a pressure-based solution technique for broad applicability. They differ mainly in the way they integrate the fluid flow equations and in their equation solution strategies.The ANSYS CFX solver uses finite elements (cell vertex numerics), similar to those used in mechanical analysis, to discretize the domain. In contrast, the ANSYS FLUENT solver uses finite volumes (cell centered numerics).ANSYS CFX software focuses on one approach to solve the governing equations of motion (coupled algebraic multigrid), while the ANSYS FLUENT product offers several solution approaches (density-, segregated- and coupled-pressure-based methods)
