Reaction Design introduces model fuel library resulting from work of Model Fuels Consortium

Green Car Congress

Fuel properties affect a number of combustion and engine properties, including ignition delay; knocking tendency; flame speeds; pollutant emissions; sooting tendency and particle size distributions; and density, viscosity and heating value. The current commercial offering thus offers the library as it was two years ago, Sanders said.

Reaction Design introduces FORTÉ CFD for advanced, 3D internal combustion engine simulations based on detailed fuel chemistry mechanisms

Green Car Congress

While existing CFD simulation packages cannot handle the complexity of real fuel models, FORTÉ CFD’s technology simplifies and accelerates the chemistry calculations that are required to achieve unprecedented accuracy with time-to-solution metrics that fit in commercial-development timeframes.
