CD-adapco DARS v2.10 chemical reaction simulator

CD-adapco has released DARS v2.10, a standalone simulation tool for the 0D and 1D management and analysis of chemical reactions, which can be fully integrated within STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+. DARS v2.10 now features a library generation functionality that makes it possible for users to quickly explore new fuel blends and operating conditions for simulations with STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+.

DARS v2.10 provides a library generation functionality that facilitates analysis of fuel compositions, accurate prediction of knock and emissions for dual fuel engines, exploration of combustion of any fuel or oxidant mixtures and exploration of soot yield for new fuels and new operating conditions. The technological gains in DARS v2.10 are designed to provide users with confidence in their results through updated modelling capabilities and advanced technologies.

The user experience in DARS v2.10 is enhanced by making the technology more accessible, reducing engineering time and offering straightforward simulation workflows. Users will benefit from a streamlined workflow from DARS to STAR-CCM+/STAR-CD, a new GUI module for library generation and context-sensitive library generation.

Using DARS v2.10, engineers will enjoy productivity gains through faster simulations, the ability to explore more designs, faster, and increased efficiency. The objectives are accomplished in DARS v2.10 through the parallelisation of library calculations, scripting/command line functionality and compact libraries.
