    The document summarizes the standard file structure and procedure for running KIVA-3V, a computational code for modeling engine combustion. It involves using three main programs: k3prep as a pre-processor to generate the computational grid from an input grid file, kiva3v as the main computational code using various input and output files, and k3post as a post-processor to generate postscript files of the results from the main code's output files. The main code can be restarted to continue a calculation from a certain crank angle by renaming an output file as a restart input file and adjusting a parameter value.

    How to Run KIVA-3V

    Standard KIVA-3V File Structure

    k3prep (pre-processor to generate computational grid)

    kiva3v (main computational code)

    k3post (post-processor to generate postscript files)

    Procedure

    iprep (grid file)

    Pre-processor
    k3prep

    otape11 otape17 (grid)

    itape17
    itape5 (engine conditions)
    itape18 (if valve motion)
    kiva3v
    Main Code itape7 (if restarting)

    dat.* (data files of in-cylinder conditions)


    otape8 (for restarting)
    otape9 (detailed results for post-processing)
    otape12 (general information)

    itape9, ipost

    k3post
    Post-processor

    postscript files (of in-cylinder details)

    Note: restart feature—during the code execution, it allows to run up to a certain crank angle and
    then restart the calculation. To do this, just rename ‘otape8’ as ‘itape7’ and increase the value of
    the parameter ‘irest’ by one in ‘itape5’.
