WAVE - Fast accurate solvers and physical models

WAVE enables accurate 1D engine digital twins reliant on three aspects:

  1. Physical models capable of correctly capturing in 1D the complexity of 3D flow, thermal and combustion phenomena occurring in internal combustion engines
  2. An accurate discrete solver providing correct solutions for the resulting equations and flow network
  3. Proven processes for accurate calibration of physical models
