A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium stores a multilayer fluid analysis program for analyzing a multilayer fluid as 2.5 dimensions in which each layer is divided into elements and each of the elements has information about a layer thickness in a finite element model for the multilayer fluid. The multilayer fluid analysis program allowing a computer to function as: a layer thickness calculation process for calculating the layer thickness of the elements from a simultaneous equation indicating a relationship between stress in a normal direction and a fluid viscosity in the elements without considering a fluid flow in a thickness direction of the layer thickness under a condition that stresses in the normal direction and a tangential direction are balanced at an interface of respective layers and a flow velocity at the interface is continuous; and a display process for displaying a calculation result.
