Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of two software systems for solving computational fluid dynamics: SigmaFlow and Fluent. With the help of the programs, several laminar test problems were solved. The results are compared with each other and with experimental data and calculations of other authors.

Keywords: Computational fluid dynamics, Fluent, SigmaFlow, Navier-Stokes equations, CFD packages, laminar flow.
