Combustion Simulation and Modeling

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Ballroom C

Combustion of fossil fuel accounts for 85% of the energy consumed in the United States and is responsible for nearly all of the anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. The Clean Air Act and the Kyoto Protocol demand the levels of such emission be reduced substantially by 2004. To achieve such low emission, new and fundamental knowledge about combustion systems is needed. The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has recently proposed a new and comprehensive effort in simulating and modeling the combustion of fossil fuels, which takes advantage of significant advances made in massively parallel computing. In this minisymposium, the speakers will discuss some of the activities in combustion simulation and modeling at some of the DOE national laboratories.
