\"cropped-OpenWam001.png\"<\/a><\/span>OpenWAM is a free open source tool for gas dynamics modelling, mainly developed for Internal Combustion Engines.\u00a0<\/span>This code was initially developep in CMT-Motores T\u00e9rmicos in 1984 \u00a0sing the Method of Characteristics <\/span>. The model was initially based on the Benson’s work <\/span>.<\/p>\n

Later, in 1986 Payri, Corber\u00e1n and Boada <\/span> improved the algorithm to generate and remove the characteristic lines, mainly for the cases where the flow undergoes changes in the flow sense at the end of the pipes.<\/p>\n

In 1991 Payri, Benajes and Chust <\/span> improved the resolution of the boundary conditions at the pipe’s ends. Nowadays this proposal is still used to solve the boundaries. In the next step, the Method of Characteristics was substituted by a more modern finite difference scheme, faster and less diffusive. Desantes, Chust and Llorens <\/span> carried out a comparative study in 1993, where different schemes were tested. The conclusion was that the most suitable schemes to solve the compressible flow throug the engine pipes were two step Lax&Wendroff and the predictor-corrector MacCormak. Both schemes were second order acurate. Few years ago, another comparative study was carried out by Payri, Galindo, Serrano and Arnau where modern high resolution schemes like TVD schemes or FCT techniques were tested to be used in the code for solving the flow through the pipes. Nowadays, an OpenWAM user can choose between different schemes in order to obtain fast or acurate results.<\/p>\n

Parallel to the improvement in the resolution of conservation equations system in the ducts, OpenWAM has undergone continuous development of submodels for calculating the fluid dynamic behavior of each of the different elements that form the engine. Zero-dimensional filling and emptying submoder for the calculation of cylinders and plenums were included in the first version of the code <\/span>. In 1996, a submodel for the resolution of the turbine boundary condition <\/span>\u00a0which was later adapted to variable geometry turbine <\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
