3D-CFD Simulation Environment: the Virtual Test Bench

The numerical investigations within the presented work were carried out with the 3D-CFD simulation tool QuickSim, a tool specifically designed for 3D-CFD simulations of internal combustion engines. In this chapter, the main features and methodology guidelines adopted in this simulation environment are presented, with particular focus on the elements that are instrumental to the work. A detailed description of the methodology and models of QuickSim can be found in [18].
