Does anybody know how efficient Fluent is in simulations of Internal Combustion Engines processes (piston & valve motion, spray, combustion, very turbulent environment), compared to the specialized software like Kiva or Fire?

Hi sir, Fluent was totally sux in ICE simulation. In fluent 6.1 u dont hav the spark ignition module and if u wanna do dual fuel simulation, u will have a headache. I suggest u go for AVL Fire. tats really makes yr life easy. i saw the software demo, it was totally impress. unfortunately i dont hav the training manual but i got the "student" verion of the software. if u can find the manual, perhaps we can excahnge

regards, Ray

hi tom yeah im also facing lot of difficulty in simulating ic engine flow in fluent please send me the address from where i can down load the student version of AVL Fire. regards ramesh

sir, i am in project now. so ifeel that ur guidance through mail will help me a lot regarding the ic engines. so i kindly request ur help.

thank you,
