WAVE - 1D/3D CFD co-simulation

WAVE is capable of co-simulation with Realis Simulation formerly Ricardo Software's 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, VECTIS, or various third-party CFD codes including STAR-CD®, Star-CCM+®, Fluent® and Fire®.
Key features
- A three-stage coupling approach allows for quick convergence:
- Stage I: the 1D model runs to convergence
- StageII: converged 1D boundary conditions are applied to the 3D CFD model and the CFD model is run to convergence
- Stage III: the 1D and 3D CFD models run fully coupled
- Open interface enables linking to supported commercial or user-developed CFD tools
- Fully-integrated 1D/3D CFD co-simulation with WAVE3D:
- Import complex 3D geometry in WaveMesher for 1D and 3D mesh creation
- VECTIS-based parallel CFD solver
- Automatic linking of 1D/3D flow boundaries
- Advanced 3D post-processing
