In this video from the PASC15 conference in Switzerland, Jacqueline Chen from Sandia National Lab presents: Towards Exascale Simulation of Turbulent Combustion. Exascale computing will enable ...

In order to make the simulation on tens of thousands of processors possible, Stefan Kerkemeier, a doctoral student at LAV, and Paul Fischer from ANL optimized and further expanded the code over the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The incredible complexity of turbulent combustion has made modeling it and systems in which it is important a goal that researchers know probably won't be reached in their lifetimes.

Researchers use Direct Numerical Simulations to enhance efficiency, reduce pollution in diesel engines. A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- ...

Large eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as an indispensable numerical technique for elucidating the complex phenomena inherent in combustion and pool fires. By resolving the larger turbulent ...

Over at Argonne, Greg Cunningham writes that a new combustion simulation project using the Mira supercomputer could pave the way to more efficient engines. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy ...

As automotive engineers push back the boundaries of combustion, an increasing number of studies are being carried out in the virtual world. The use of in-cylinder computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...

MUNICH, Germany — Future engine management systems will be based on the pressure measured in the combustion engine's cylinders and will use variable valve control, for example. This major new ...

Imagine more efficient internal combustion engines with lower emissions, sparked by computer simulation. Scientists across the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have ...

You've probably noticed that it costs you more to fill the gas tank of your car than a year ago. There are many reasons for this, but it's important to remember that 85 percent of U.S. energy needs ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- one that, once properly understood, could enable better engine designs with higher ...
