CONVERGE Results Featured in 25 Papers at ASME ICEF 2017

Madison, Wisconsin (October 16, 2017) – Results from the CONVERGE computational fluid dynamics software will be featured in 25 papers at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Internal Combustion Engine Fall Technical Conference, which will be held October 15–18 in Seattle. Papers with CONVERGE results will be shared in several presentation tracks: Advanced Combustion, Emissions Control Systems, Engine Design and Mechanical Development, Fuels, Large Bore Engines, and Numerical Simulations. The breadth of topics and the number of papers are a testament to the widespread applicability of CONVERGE’s autonomous meshing approach, suite of advanced physical models, and ability to simulate complex moving geometries.
