Accurate and Validated Reacting Flow Models Enable Precise Simulations
Overview
Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer, often with the release of heat and light. CFD simulations are used to model combustion processes in engines, furnaces, boilers, and industrial reactors — optimizing combustion efficiency, analyzing flame characteristics, predicting temperature distributions, and improving fuel consumption and emissions performance. CFD is also utilized to model complex chemical reactions occurring in reactive flows such as combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, and reactions in industrial processes — predicting reaction kinetics, species concentrations, and product distributions.
