Abstract Fluent software is a type of computational software, which is built on fluid mechanics and used for flow field study, and now it is widely applied in the field of process simulation. This paper aims to explore the simulation of Fluent software in common chemical equipment. Specifically, in the research on mixer, it is mainly focused on simulating and investigating the influence of internal component changes (i.e. blades and mixing heads) on the process of fluid flow, with the aim to develop the mixer that has good mixing effects. In the research on heat exchanger, it is focused more on simulating and analyzing the flow field within the structural changes of heat transfer channels, in order to find out the effective solutions to enhance the fluid flow and heat transfer. In the research on reactor, it is focused on simulating and analyzing the influence of reactor structure, type and operating parameter change on the reactor characteristics, so as to fulfill the optimization of reactors. In the research on crystallizer, the effects of different crystal growth parameters on the flow field, temperature field and pressure field of the crystallizer are mainly simulated, which provides a basis for the optimization of the crystallizer. In all the researches on equipment mentioned above, Fluent software can be applied to accelerate the process optimization and to analyze the hydrodynamics rule of the process intuitively. As a result, Fluent software will be applied more and more in the chemical industry field in the future.
