Abstract
FAST-EVP is a simulation tool for internal combustion engines running on cluster platforms; it has evolved from the KIVA-3V code base, but has been extensively rewritten making use of modern linear solvers, parallel programming techniques and advanced physical models.
The software is currently in use at the consulting firm NUMIDIA, and has been applied to a diverse range of test cases from industry, obtaining simulation results for complex geometries in short time frames.
