The already sophisticated simulation system TRACE continues to be developed further by more than ten scientists within the framework of internal, national and European research projects. The close cooperation with the industrial partners ensures the orientation of development remains relevant to the design driven demands of industry.
Alongside the further development of physical models, the development of improved numerical methods, such as new temporal integration methods to reduce computation overheads, is important. Within the development framework of TRACE software engineering plays an important role: the complete simulation process chain is integrated into a version management system, including the pre- and post-processing tools, with a standard interface (CGNS). In summary, the TRACE program has become a highly accurate and capable CFD platform for modelling turbomachinery related flow phenomena.
