Convergent Science is pleased to announce the presentation of more than 35 papers with CONVERGE results at WCX17: SAE World Congress Experience in Detroit on April 4-6, 2017. The number of papers is a testament to the widespread use of CONVERGE CFD, while the diversity of papers—on topics ranging from engine knock to diesel spray impingement to valve train design—is a testament to CONVERGE’s robust meshing capabilities and multifarious physical models.
Papers were authored by engineers from prestigious corporations, academic institutions, and national laboratories around the globe. Convergent Science personnel co-authored papers with engineers from Groupe Renault, GE Global Research Center, Aramco Research Center, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, the University of Perugia, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and IFP Energies nouvelles.
