Our research laboratory specializes in the numerical simulation of plasma & reactive flows such as those used in aerodynamic flow control, in plasma-assisted combustion for scramjets, in magnetohydrodynamic power generation, as well as in hypersonic re-entry flows. In our laboratory, we aim to improve the efficiency of the numerical methods and models needed to simulate plasma & reactive flows as well as... Read more.
CFDWARP is a 120,000+ line C code that is specifically tailored to simulate efficiently plasma and reactive flows occurring in aerodynamics, combustion, hypersonics, re-entry, arcing, and lightning. CFDWARP is a high-order compressible flow solver that uses novel flux discretization schemes suitable for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). CFDWARP is superior to other codes in two ways:
