Simulation Suite

BLAZE Multiphysics

The BLAZE Multiphysics™ Simulation Suite is comprised of a number of inter-operable and highly scalable parallel finite-volume models for the analysis of complex physical systems dependent upon laminar and turbulent fluid-dynamic (incompressible and compressible subsonic through hypersonic regimes), non-equilibrium gas- and plasma-dynamic, electrodynamic, thermal, and optical physics (radiation transport and wave optics) using any modern computational platform (Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux).

BLAZE is compatible with a number of free, open-source, yet commercial quality grid generation and post-processing software packages which greatly reduces training and operating costs. BLAZE is also compatible with state of the art commercial grid generation and post-processing solutions.

BLAZE users can also create, compile, and include their own complete models into BLAZE without any knowledge of parallel programming, input/output, grid/mesh formats, sparse linear system solution schemes, etc. as this functionality is provided to the user by the simulation engine via an easy to use application programming interface (API).

While this software is still highly functional and used internally by CUA engineers, due to the loss of the support team member on this product, we have discontinued actively marketing the product.
