Researchers use Direct Numerical Simulations to enhance efficiency, reduce pollution in diesel engines. A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

Large eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as an indispensable numerical technique for elucidating the complex phenomena inherent in combustion and pool fires. By resolving the larger turbulent ...

MUNICH, Germany — Future engine management systems will be based on the pressure measured in the combustion engine's cylinders and will use variable valve control, for example. This major new ...

In this video from PASC18, Saumil Patel from Argonne describes his poster: A low-Mach simulation of flow and heat transfer in a motored internal combustion engine using the spectral element method. A ...

In this episode of Let’s Talk Exascale, Jackie Chen from Sandia National Laboratories describes the Combustion-Pele project, which uses predictive simulation for the development of cleaner-burning ...

Imagine more efficient internal combustion engines with lower emissions, sparked by computer simulation. Scientists across the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have ...

A flame sheet model for NO production in multi-dimensional diesel simulation has been developed. It explicitly addresses that because of the finite computational cell resolution, the local temperature ...

You've probably noticed that it costs you more to fill the gas tank of your car than a year ago. There are many reasons for this, but it's important to remember that 85 percent of U.S. energy needs ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- one that, once properly understood, could enable better engine designs with higher ...
