WAVE and its faster than real-time component WAVE-RT are at the forefront of 1D CFD technology for the analysis of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Our approach, combining precision and user friendliness, empowers engineers globally to forge intricate digital engine twins that epitomize design concepts. This capability proves invaluable for tasks such as analysis, optimisation, calibration, diagnostics, and maintenance of IC engines. Prioritising the precision of simulation and including targeted capabilities aimed at sustainable and non-carbon fuel modelling, WAVE finds applications across diverse industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, rail, motorsport, marine, and power generation. The paramount commitment of WAVE to customer satisfaction propels the transition towards virtual product development, enabling engineers to embrace cutting-edge innovations and accelerated R&D, all while curbing development costs.

WAVE is the technology leader in 1D engine plant model analysis supporting a wide range of applications. From concept studies to detailing engine performance and cooling system inputs, from optimisation of engine components to acoustic analysis and noise level optimisation; from fuel composition sensitivity to fault analysis and maintenance - WAVE can provide accurate answers to complex questions facing engineering analysis teams.

WAVE-RT is the industry’s leading faster than real-time engine plant modelling solver. Created from WAVE models with a single click export, it has been developed for fast comprehensive virtual calibration and validation. WAVE-RT is used to model advanced control strategies that need to be designed, tested and validated for integration into new engine control units. Furthermore, current generation WAVE-RT has fidelity approaching full 1D CFD modelling and can provide a drop-in engine plant replacement in many pre-development tasks, such as transmission calibration. Calibrated WAVE-RT engine plant models also enable system level simulations for applications such as digital monitoring, fault analysis, drivability and OBD system improvement in Model-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop environments.
