Madison, WisconsinㅡJuly 16, 2018ㅡThe U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Office held its 2018 Annual Merit Review (AMR) and Peer Evaluation from June 18-21 in Arlington, Virginia. Of the advanced vehicle technologies projects reviewed at the meeting, 17 referenced partnerships with Convergent Science and its CONVERGE computational fluid dynamics software. The research for these projects took place at Argonne, Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge, and Sandia National Laboratories, as well as at the Department of Energy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the University of Michigan.
The diversity of these 17 projects presented at the AMR highlights the versatility and broad applicability of CONVERGE. The presentations are publicly available, and links are provided below.
