We offer separate
products COMPACT-2D and COMPACT-3D for two- and three- dimensional simulations. This arrangement enables you to benefit from the ease of use and efficiency of COMPACT-2D for two-dimensional
situations, instead of having to use COMPACT-3D for all problems. We have a special bundle price for the purchase of COMPACT-3D with COMPACT-2D.
COMPACT-2D allows you to represent
two-dimensional situations in the Cartesian (xy), axisymmetric (xr), or polar (theta r) coordinate system. In COMPACT-3D, you can use Cartesian (xyz) or cylindrical (xr theta ) coordinates.
The standard versions of COMPACT include the graphical preprocessor, the basic solver, and twenty-five examples that illustrate modeling of a variety of complex phenomena including
unsteady heat conduction, gas-particle flows, phase change, rotating flows, combustion, compressible flows, and reacting flows. (Note that these examples are included to demonstrate
important features of the COMPACT programs. COMPACT programs can be applied to physical situations well beyond those covered in these examples.) For ease of understanding, these
examples have been deliberately kept simple in terms of geometry, boundary conditions, and presence of other interacting physical processes. Many of these examples make use of the
Adaptation routine capability of COMPACT. Users of COMPACT programs can further develop and enhance these Adaptation routines or write their own routines to include specific features of
their applications.
To facilitate the development of the Adaptation routines, the COMPACT manuals contain extensive documentation of the numerical method and its implementation, the
structure of the program, details of the physical submodels, and the Adaptation routines for the illustrative examples.
