WAVE is a computer-aided engineering code designed to analyze the dynamics of pressure waves, mass flows, and energy losses in ducts, plenums, and the intake and exhaust manifolds of various systems and machines. WAVE provides a fully integrated treatment of time-dependent fluid dynamics and thermodynamics by means of a one-dimensional finite-difference formulation incorporating a general thermodynamic treatment of working fluids including air, air-hydrocarbon mixtures, products of combustion, freons, and liquid fuels.
