Internal combustion engine design is increasingly driven by computational models used to predict change in performance due to change of design. The design process previously depended on limited intuition and expensive and time-consuming physical testing. Improved model capabilities shorten design cycles and enable the production of cleaner and more efficient engines. This project focuses on advancing the state of the art in internal combustion engine simulations. The overarching goal is to enable predictive models and reduced time to solution for simulations that impact combustion engine design.
