KIVA code

S. L. Yang, B. D. Peschke, and K. Hanjalic. Second-moment closure model fm IC engine flow simulation using KIVA code. Journal Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 122 355-363, 2000. 

To illustrate our current capability in modeling ftee-expansion experiments with the KIVA code, we present a selection of results from a single calculation. The parameters chosen were for a nominal case of a right circular cylindrical pellet of RDX (or PETN, approximately) at a loading density of 1.61 g/cm. Other details of the calculation are given in Table I. 

KIVA REACTIVE HYDRODYNAMICS CODE APPLIED TO DETONATIONS IN HIGH VACUUM... 

We have used the KIVA reactive hydrodynamics code (1,2) to provide a computational model of our experiments in frozen detonation chemistry (3-5). By constraining the model with the known essential features of the experiments, we hope to gain insight about the behavior of the experimental system that will aid in interpretation of experimental results and will provide a basis for the design of new experiments.
