High Performance Computing key enabler for accelerating development of high efficiency engines

Green Car Congress

Low emission, low temperature engine concepts of the future operate in regimes where combustion is poorly understood. In an effort to reliably predict efficiency and pollutant emissions for new engines and fuels, computer simulations are used to study fundamental turbulence-chemistry interactions. Click to enlarge.
