This tutorial will take you from zero to a running single-cylinder engine model. We will cover the architecture, sub-volume theory, discretization, and finally, running your first simulation. Before clicking buttons, you must understand what Ricardo Wave actually solves.
Your dashboard is now essential. Right-click in the background and select "User Defined Layout." ricardo wave tutorial
Wave solves the (1D continuity, momentum, and energy) for unsteady gas flow. Instead of modeling the inside of the cylinder as a solid chunk, Wave treats ducts (pipes) as a series of meshes where pressure waves travel at the speed of sound. This tutorial will take you from zero to
