Commenting on the new agreement, Mario Almondo, Head of the Industrial Department of the Scuderia, said “We consider the use of CFD simulation and the services offered by Fluent as an important element in our racing success. That is why we are happy to name the company our Strategic CFD Provider”.

The hardware and software technologies Ferrari is employing in its new HPC with project partners AMD, APC and Fluent, should allow Ferrari’s engineers to realize aerodynamic simulations in a more efficient and reliable way, and to study a higher number of configurations than before. CFD simulation empowers Scuderia Ferrari teams to develop the concept of their car in a complementary way with their wind tunnel facilities in the year preceding each season. During the racing year, they use these tools to improve the car for each race circuit. Fluent’s CFD technology is well- tested for the robust environment demanded by car designers. This is especially important for the large-scale CFD models required to meet the accuracy demands of Formula 1 racing.

Marco Rossi, General Manager of Fluent Italia, commenting on the new relationship said that “We are all enthusiastic and proud to help the Scuderia Ferrari face competitive challenges and regulation changes. In such a demanding environment we must be sure to give Ferrari top quality software that’s reliable and helps to deliver performance enhancements to their car.”
