KIVA Software
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
KIVA is a family of Fortran-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts complex multi-species multi-phase turbulent fuel and air flows. KIVA models all engine combustion processes with models for spray, soot formation, spark ignition, and reactive chemistry (including pollutantformation processes). Employing KIVA software helps to optimize internal combustion engine processes, including diesel engines, for higher efficiency and lower emissions. KIVA engine modeling routines such as spray and core CFD Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) algorithms are now ubiquitous in the industry of engine code simulators. In addition, many engineers and researchers have made modifications to or enhanced our routines to address specific problems in engine designs.
