Convergent Science was founded in 1997 by a group of graduate students, including Eric Pomraning, Keith Richards, Peter Kelly Senecal, Daniel Lee, and David Schmidt,[1] at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
[5] CONVERGE CFD software is a multi-purpose computational fluid dynamics code for modeling three-dimensional, reacting or non-reacting, turbulent flows.
The software contains a variety of physical models for phenomena including turbulence, spray, conjugate heat transfer, multi-phase flow, fluid-structure interaction, and surface chemistry.
[15] Users of the software include automotive companies, the motor racing industry, universities, government, and corporate organizations.
[20] Argonne National Laboratory, Caterpillar, and Cummins have employed CONVERGE in several projects aimed toward increasing the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines.
