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.

Convergent Science is known for its industry-leading customer service, and these 25 papers are evidence of the company’s productive partnerships with industry, academic, and government organizations. The CONVERGE-related papers were authored by personnel from Aramco Research Center, Argonne National Laboratory, AVL Dacolt BV, Caterpillar Inc., Convergent Science, G.E. Global Research Center, General Motors, Hiltner Combustion Systems, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Jaguar Land Rover Limited, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Mainstream Engineering Corporation, Mississippi State University, National Research Council Canada, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pinnacle Engines, Polytechnic University of Turin, Sandia National Laboratories, Saudi Aramco Dhahran, Stony Brook University, Technical University of Munich, Tianjin University, University of Connecticut, University of Michigan, University of Oxford, and West Virginia University.
