MIFAC

MIFAC is an in-house Computational Fluid Dynamics Code (CFD) which uses a three-dimensional, fully-elliptic, finite difference representation of the steady-state conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. Turbulence is modeled using the k-epsilon equations. Gas-phase chemistry is also modeled using elliptic control-volume techniques. Particle dynamics are tracked using Lagrangian methods. Chemical kinetics calculations such as NOx formation (Zeldovich mechanism) are available using a post-processor elliptic solver linked to Chemkin-II, a gas-phase chemical kinetics package.
