CHEM: Computational Combustion Modeling
Chem is the first application developed using the Loci
framework. Chem is a full featured Navier-Stokes solver for
non-equilibrium flows involving chemical reactions. The solver uses
advanced generalized grid algorithms based on finite-volume methods
and high resolution Riemann solvers.
For more information on the algorithms used in the CHEM code, refer to

Reacting Flow Solver for Generalized Grids"

Multiphase solid rocket simulation with radiative heat transfer
Shows solid rocket at launch with flame bucket and blast deflector
wall. The isosurface of a fixed particle number density is shown
colored by particle temperatures. The ground plane is colored by
radiative heat fluxes radiated from the solid rocket plume. This
simulation utilized a two species fluid model, a two-way coupled
Eulerian two-phase particle model, and a non-gray CADOM radiation
model.
