Learn about our newest major release! In this course we will offer a 
brief introduction to some of the new features and enhancements in 
CONVERGE 3.0. Topics to be covered will include:

Cell-based load balancing and other solver-related improvements

New input (YAML) and output (HDF5) file formats for increased 
flexibility and stability 

Inlaid grids, which can be used for boundary layer meshes or spray-
aligned conical meshes

Boundary-related enhancements, including more robust periodic 
boundaries

Initialization perturbations and new mapping initialization options

Physical modeling improvements, including enhancements to the 
ECFM and ECFM3Z combustion models, a new dynamic thickened 
flame model, an enhanced wall treatment option for some 
turbulence models, and the addition of the P1 spherical harmonics 
radiation model

New chemistry tools, including 0D reactors and engine calculators, 
and improvements to make all chemistry tools more user-friendly 
and computationally efficient

The option to couple CONVERGE with the Abaqus finite element 
solver
