Hi,
Fluent or other similar CFD software (CFX, Star-CCM+, OF, etc...) are more suitable for investigations related to turbulence, heat & mass transfer, chemical reactions, combustion, multiphase flows, etc...
Polyflow is ideally suited for viscous/viscoelastic flows, rheologically complex fluids. This is the case of many applications : polymers, glass, plastics, rubber, paints, etc...
Kind regards.

Thank you Mounir Bouaifi ! You have shared great details about Polyflow .

Fluent is the one of the first CFD software for the most fluid flow problems such as external or internal compressible and incompressible etc fluid flow.
Ansys Fluent is Master software for different type of flow including non-Newtonian flow, however special cases like non-Newtonian flow can be treated in more professional software in these special cases by using polyflow software.
ANSYS FLUENT and 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 multi grid), while the ANSYS FLUENT product offers several solution approaches (density-, segregated- and coupled-pressure-based methods).
How can I get the software of polyflow. Do I have to buy a license for it or it is available for download?
