Combustion

Arguably the most accurate CFD software for unsteady, complex flows, from subsonic to supersonic speed regimes

Combustion

The combustion module in AEROFLO is designed to perform either direct flame simulations for laminar configurations or state-of-the-art-modeled flame simulations for turbulent configurations. For both configurations, AEROFLO can simulate flames based on arbitrary detailed kinetic models, with mixture-dependent transport and thermodynamic properties.
