Convergent Science Inc. (CSI) specializes in multi-dimensional modeling of internal
combustion engines. CSI has developed the next generation CFD code, CONVERGE, which
is widely used in the engine design community as it offers unique advantages in terms
of accuracy and productivity. The goal of writing CONVERGE was to make engine modeling
fast, easy and accurate. To this end, CONVERGE generates a mesh automatically at runtime
thus eliminating all user meshing time which historically has been the limiting bottleneck
for engine CFD. In order to maximize accuracy, CONVERGE adjusts the grid density
automatically to resolve gradients using an approach called adaptive mesh refinement (AMR).
The goal of the CONVERGE meshing approach is to maximize accuracy while minimizing setup
and run time. CONVERGE is loaded with the physical models for spray, turbulence and
combustion (including detailed chemistry) needed to accurately model any engine type
including spark ignited, Diesel, natural gas and HCCI. CONVERGE runs great in parallel.
