KIVA-4 to EnSight

KIVA-4, the newest version of the KIVA code, has many new capabilities including parallelization and unstructured mesh simulations. These features present a great potential for efficient computations with complex geometry on high-end cluster systems. However, KIVA-4 has different data structure than previous versions of KIVA. Thus, the EnSight converter also needs to be different. We have collaborated with CEI, Inc. to develop EnSight converter for this new version of the KIVA code. As we improve KIVA-4 with more computational capabilities, we will keep working on the converter to allow better and more efficient visualization. The following is the zipped file that users can download and insert to KIVA-4 to output files for EnSight post-processing.

The following movies are results of KIVA-4 simulations using unstructured mesh. The geometry is simple and further validations and applications are underway.
