BLAZE Multiphysics™ Features

General Features

MPI-based parallel, highly scalable, multiphysics simulation engine.
Library of interoperable finite volume models.
Solve using steady-state, pseudo-steady-state, transient, and variable time steps temporal schemes.
Compatible with free, powerful, open-source grid generation and post-processing software.
Compatible with state of the art commercial grid generation and post-processing software.
User extendable – create and compile new models to work in tandem with provided engine/models.
Large demonstration/verification/validation case library.
Compatible with most modern systems, Windows, Macintosh, Unix/Linux, Distributed Memory Clusters.
Large and well validated gas specie database.
Large and well validated gas- plasma- and photo-kinetic chemistry database.

Compatible with multiple grid formats (Gmsh *.msh, Nastran Bulk Data *.bdf, VTK *.vtk, / *.cgns compatibility coming soon) and with multiple freeware and commercial grid generators.
Compatible with structured/unstructured 2- and 3-D grids.
Compatible with triangle and quadrilateral first-order, two-dimensional elements, and the tetrahedron, hexahedron, prism, and pyramid, first-order, three-dimensional elements.
Automated decomposition for parallel execution.
Sub-divide grids and solve certain models on only user-defined portions, other models on full grid.
High-order flux schemes with multiple flux blending schemes.

Solve using steady-state, pseudo-steady-state, transient, and variable time steps temporal schemes.
1st - 4th order accurate fully implicit time accurate schemes available with the fixed time step transient solver.

Create, compile, and call your own powerful finite volume models from BLAZE using a provided API.
BLAZE simulation engine handles all I/O, parallelism, memory management, parallel sparse linear system solution schemes, etc.
Create, compile and call custom grid parsers.
Gas Specie and Chemistry Library

Compatible multiple post-processing tools including the free, open-source, powerful ParaView or VisIt via various output data formats.
