Build 15151 excelled at automating the construction of reactor networks from CFD data (CFD Mapping). Engineers could take a 3D flame solution from Fluent and automatically reduce it to a network of PSRs and Plug Flow Reactors (PFRs), slashing simulation time from days to minutes while retaining NOx and pollutant chemistry accuracy.
