Uncertainty Quantification in Chemical Systems with Reaction Mechanisms Employing Rate Rules
Post, January 16, 2014 • A team of researchers—Jens Prager, formerly at the CRF and presently at the engineering simulation software firm CD-adapco; Habib Najm and Khachik Sargsyan of the CRF; Cosmin Safta of Sandia’s Computer Sciences and Information Systems center; and William Pitz of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory—have studied the impact of uncertainty of...

Understanding hazardous combustion byproducts reduces factors impacting climate change
Post, August 30, 2016 • Sandia researchers focus on soot, furans, oxygenated hydrocarbons By Michael Padilla  Researchers at Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility are developing the understanding necessary to build cleaner combustion technologies that will in turn reduce climate impact.  Their work focuses on understanding the oxidation chemistry of organic carbon species critical to many processes...

UQ Software
Page • Uncertainty Quantification Toolkit Overview The Uncertainty Quantification Toolkit (UQTk) is a lightweight open source C++ library, (available at http://www.sandia.gov/UQToolkit) primarily offering tools for the propagation of uncertain inputs and parameters through a computational model. Figure 1 UQTk allows other researchers to apply our algorithm UQ research to many other applications. It is well suited...

UTRC and CRF researchers discuss turbine engines
Post, June 11, 2012 • On April 23, a group of combustion researchers from the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) visited the CRF. Led by manager Dr. Catalin Fotache, the UTRC researchers met with senior managers Art Pontau and Andy McIlroy, manager Daniel Dedrick, and others to speak about experimental diagnostics, modeling and simulation with...
