This month, we debuted the new website for The Center for Exascale Simulation of Combustion in Turbulence (ExaCT). The ExaCT group is actively developing a number of “proxy apps” that represent key aspects of structured-grid adaptive PDE-based combustion simulations. A subset of these proxy apps are available to the public. For more information, please go…
Three Sandians from the Engine Combustion group were honored at the 2012 SAE World Congress Awards Ceremony on April 24 in Detroit. Lyle Pickett was presented with the 2011 SAE John Johnson Award for Outstanding Research in Diesel Engines, Ben Peterson received the Russell S. Springer Award, and Chuck Mueller was honored as an SAE…
CRF researcher Lyle Pickett was recently awarded the 2011 SAE John Johnson Award for Outstanding Research in Diesel Engines. Lyle was recognized for his paper: “Relationship Between Diesel Fuel Spray Vapor Penetration/Dispersion and Local Fuel Mixture Fraction.” Co-authors on the paper were CRF researchers Dennis L. Siebers and Mark P.B. Musculus and collaborators Julien Manin,…
