UVSim3D is specialized software for calculating the UV irradiance distribution inside UV/VUV reactors. It helps water treatment engineers to:
What you can do with it
- Predict UV Fluence Rate: calculate the UV fluence delivered at any point inside a reactor
- Optimize lamp layout: design lamp positions for maximum disinfection efficiency
- Evaluate reactor performance: compare performance across different configurations
- Couple with CFD: compute accurate UV dose through CFD integration
Key features
- Multiple lamp configurations (low-pressure LP and medium-pressure MP lamps supported)
- Multi-wavelength modeling (185nm–300nm and user-defined wavelengths)
- Large-scale simulation (handles tens of millions of mesh points)
- Industry-standard file formats (VTU, VTKHDF, CGNS)
- CFD UDF support (UDFs for integration with commercial and open-source CFD codes)
- Python wrapper (for Python users' convenience)
For installation and a first run, see the getting started guide.
