WAVE

What is WAVE?

WAVE is the market-leading ISO approved, 1D engine & gas dynamics simulation software package from Ricardo Software. It is used worldwide in industry sectors including passenger car, motorcycle, truck, locomotive, motor sport, marine and power generation. WAVE enables performance simulations to be carried out based on virtually any intake, combustion and exhaust system configuration, and includes a drivetrain model to allow complete vehicle simulation.

Applications

Engine Performance – Prediction and optimisation of the complete engine from intake to tailpipe
Acoustics and Noise – Design of intake and exhaust systems for improved noise reduction and sound quality
Combustion and Emissions – Advanced combustion models for all types of combustion systems and in-cylinder emissions prediction capabilities
Thermal Analysis – Prediction of combustion chamber and exhaust system component temperatures
Dynamic System Control – Coupled engine control and driveline simulation
WAVE-RT – Real time simulation for control algorithm development in the SiL and HiL environments
1D/3D CFD Co-Simulation – Coupled 1D/3D analysis of intake and exhaust geometry
