VECTIS is a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics program that has been developed specifically to address fluid flow simulations in the vehicle and engine industries. VECTIS is developed around a completely automatic hexahedral mesh generator, providing a rapid turn-around time for CFD analyses. The automatic mesh generator, unique to VECTIS, provides a distinct advantage over most other commercial CFD tools in that it ensures CFD is an integral part of modern engineering development programs.
Features
- Fully automatic mesh generator capable of 500,000 cells p/hr
- Boolean operations for automatic joining, intersection, or subtraction of different geometric entities
- Easy-to-use mesh motion definition
- Fuel spray and combustion models
- Fan model for radial and axial fans of varying complexity
- Steady state or transient solver
- Direct link with WAVE for time-step integration (co-simulation)
- Animate results and export pictures or MPEG movies files for external use
- EnSight translator to allow for the viewing of VECTIS results using CEI’s EnSight
Capabilities and Applications
- In-cylinder air motion and mixture preparation
- Spray dynamics
- Combustion modeling
- Intake system component design and optimisation
- Exhaust system component development such as exhaust gas re-circulation, catalyst optimization and exhaust muffler development
- Coolant circuit design and development
- Under-bonnet (under-hood) thermal simulations
