Thermodynamics and CFD

FIRE and BOOST are the industry's prime choice when reliable results are needed for engine and combustion development. The intelligent integration of the two software tools enables solutions for complex tasks early in the development phase.

Speeding up your processes

The time required to create moving meshes for complex geometries of modern IC engines is reduced to merely days with FIRE's highly specialized and automated pre-processing tool FAME Engine +. Combining fast and efficient mesh generation with FIRE’s state-of-the-art and fully parallelized main program, accurate CFD simulation results have been never available so quickly.

Less experiments, more creativity

Engine performance and durability are strongly impacted by related fluid flow processes, such as the multiphase flow in injection equipment, in-cylinder gas dynamics, fuel injection, combustion, coolant flows, exhaust gas flows and exhaust gas aftertreatment. FIRE’s and BOOST’s industry leading capabilities enable accurate simulation of all related phenomena, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming experiments.

Verified exhaust gas aftertreatment solutions

FIRE and BOOST feature the industry's only seamless integration of 1D, 2D and 3D exhaust gas aftertreatment system simulation tools. It is based on identical mathematical, physical and chemical models, available to both softwares. The model can grow as needed from one to three dimensions with consistent results. Highest accuracy is achieved through implementation of precise chemical reactions and proven by continuous verification on AVL's emission test benches.

Synergies between simulation and testing

The integration of BOOST directly on the test bed offers the advantage of calculating additional results online during the engine test – a tremendous timesaving benefit especially in complex engineering projects, enabled by AVL’s unique synergies of testing, simulation and engineering.
