The U.S. Department of Energy held its Annual Merit Review for the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program and the Vehicle Technologies Office on June 6–10, 2016, in Washington, D.C.
CONVERGE was used in numerous analyses at national laboratories including Oak Ridge, Argonne, Sandia, and Lawrence Livermore. Links to these presentations are provided below. These projects demonstrate the innovative combustion CFD research that is being performed with CONVERGE by world-leading researchers.
ACE001: Heavy-Duty Low-Temperature and Diesel Combustion & Heavy-Duty Combustion Modeling
Spray Combustion Cross-Cut Engine Research
Model Development and Analysis of Clean & Efficient Engine Combustion
High Efficiency Clean Combustion in Multi-Cylinder Light-Duty Engines
Accelerating predictive simulation of IC engines with high performance computing (ACE017)
Advancements in Fuel Spray and Combustion Modeling with High Performance Computing Resources
Improved Solvers for Advanced Engine Combustion Simulation
High Efficiency GDI Engine Research with Emphasis on Ignition Systems
Applied Computational Methods for New Propulsion Materials
The reviewers come from a variety of backgrounds and evaluate projects based on how much they contribute to or advance the Energy Department’s missions and goals. The final reviews are described in the Vehicle Technologies Office Annual Merit Review Reports and will be published later this year.
