Biography

Jacqueline H. Chen has contributed broadly to research in direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent combustion focusing on fundamental turbulence-chemistry interactions relevant to engines. She is also developing a mesoscopic and continuum simulation framework to understand how nonequilibrium chemical processes affect the behavior of complex systems. The DNS benchmark simulations provide fundamental insight into combustion processes and are used by the combustion modeling community to develop and validate turbulent combustion models for engineering CFD simulations. She was the Director of the Exascale Combustion Codesign Center, ExaCT, and is the PI of the Exascale Computing Project on Transforming Combustion Science and Technology with Exascale Simulation. She received the DOE INCITE Award in 2005, 2007, 2008-2020, the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award in 2009, the Sandia OE Adams Award in 2012, the Combustion Institute Bernard Lewis Gold Medal Award in 2018, the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award in 2018 and the Department of Energy Office of Science Distinguished Fellows Award in 2020. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Combustion Institute, and Associate Fellow of the AIAA. She is a member of the DOE Advanced Scientific Computing Research Advisory Committee (ASCAC) and Subcommittees on Exascale Computing, Synergies of Big Data and Exascale, and ASCR@40 Report. She was a past member of the Board of Directors of the Combustion Institute and serves on numerous editorial boards of combustion and fluids journals.

Research Interests

Her research interests are in the development and application of massively parallel direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent combustion with complex chemistry. These DNS are used to understand fundamental chemistry-turbulence interactions in combustion, and to develop and validate predictive combustion models used to design efficient and clean engines reliably burning a diverse range of fuels, from bid-derived and synthesized fuels to fossil fuels from evolving feeds. She has used DNS to investigate phenomena including turbulent flame propagation, partially-premixed and triple flame structure, hydrodynamic and diffusive-thermal flame instabilities, lifted flame stabilization, autoignition, extinction and reignition, pollutant formation, soot production and differential transport, premixed flame boundary layer flashback in turbulent channel flow, reactive scalar mixing, small scale energy transfer in turbulent premixed flames, reheat combustion, and ammonia combustion. These fundamental DNS studies are relevant to the engineering design of fuel injection systems for staged gas turbine combustors that are intrinsically flashback safe and in developing strategies for controlling the pressure rise rate in fuel efficient premixed compression ignition engines. At the petascale, the DNS have been performed at conditions directly comparable to compact laboratory experiments and with sufficient chemical realism to differentiate fuel chemistry effects on critical finite-rate phenomena. The DNS benchmark data are used by the turbulent combustion modeling community for validation and training.

In the past ten years the increasing complexity of high performance computing hardware (e.g. heterogeneous architectures with accelerators) has focused the alignment of her computational combustion research with computer science research in programming models, data analytics and machine learning. She was the founding Director of the Center for Exascale Simulation of Combustion in Turbulence (ExaCT), a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional Center of computational scientists, applied mathematicians and computer scientists. ExaCT was focused on the iterative co-design of the entire software stack–from combustion DNS, analytics and UQ algorithms to programming environments, runtimes and operating system to computer hardware—allowing effective combustion simulation on future exascale systems. As PI of the Exascale Computing Project on combustion she leads a multi-laboratory team in the development of an exascale adaptive mesh refinement multi-physics solver, Pele, for turbulent reactive flows with complex geometry.
