FIRE(TM) is a fully interactive fluid dynamics package, including powerful,
menu-driven pre- and post-processing, developed specially for computing
compressible and incompressible turbulent fluid flow as encountered in
engeneering environments. 3D and 2D unsteady or steady simulations of flow
and heat transfer within arbitrary complex geometries with moving or fixed
boundaries can be performed.
Additionally FIRE offers the capabilities to predict ignition, combustion,
particle transport, spray propagation and evaporation, cavitating two-phase
flows and flows in porous elements.
FIRE incorporates restart and backup capabilities at any time step.
The equations, namely the momentum, mass and energy conservation equations,
the k-epsilon model equations and equations for a passive scalar and
fuel vapour concentrations are solved according to the finite volume method
for structured and unstructured meshes with an ICCG solver and at massive
parallel hardware platforms with a Gauss-Seidel solver.
