CHAM PHOENICS

CHAM PHOENICS is a package of computer simulation programs in the field of hydrodynamics, heat transfer, chemical reactions and their industrial applications. IN-FORM allows the user to add new physical and numerical features on a case-by-case basis. This includes the input of problem-defining, solution-controlling and results-presentation data using the VR Editor. The user can do this by way of easy-to-write formulae which are interpreted by the code which then performs the specified computation MOFOR ( MOving-Frame-Of-Reference ) models flows induced by bodies in motion. Uses for MOFOR range from the study of rotating machinery to the air flow over a ski jumper to help optimize posture for the reduction of drag and therefore maximize jump distance. PARSOL ( PARtial SOLid ) enables PHOENICS to provide accurate flow simulations without the need to create time consuming unstructured grids
