Probing Particle Impingement in Boilers Using High-Performance Computing with Parallel CPUs and GPUs
- Univ. of California, Riverside, CA (United States)
The major goals of the project are to calculate and analyze particle impingement within boilers, quantify effects of particulates in boilers, and predict damage rates of boilers under different cycling modes. Collectively, these initiatives develop insight into existing coal plant challenges using advanced modeling tools, particularly those leveraging high-performance computing resources. High-performance CFD computing forms a central theme in this project that will employ a high degree of coordination and communication between these initiatives to realize a final, rigorously sound, and validated computational capability upon completion. These results will create a holistic, comprehensive, systems-level assessment of damage rates under different cycling modes. Together, these objectives will develop critical insight into damage mechanisms in existing coal plant challenges for accurately and efficiently assessing operating performance in fossil energy power plants.
