Reimagining IC Engine Development Leveraging Next-Generation HPC and AI

The Future of the Internal Combustion Engine Webinar Series, Presented by ASME’s ICE Division.

Vehicles powered by Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs), operating on a variety of liquid and gaseous fuels, are expected to remain as the primary mode of transportation in the foreseeable future. Combustion engines are extremely challenging to accurately simulate due to the disparate length and time scales, combined with multitude of physical sub-processes (injection, evaporation, etc.), intertwined with complicated fuel and emission chemistry. With the advent of High Performance Computing, simulation-based tools are becoming extremely important for providing unique insights into ICE design and operation. The speakers will tag-team to present current challenges in using simulation tools in ICE design, and state-of-the-art research that is happening to accelerate the development of such tools. Recent model developments for two-phase flow, combustion, and emission modeling along with extensive validation will be shown next. Specific examples on combining HPC resources and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to accelerate time-to-design will be shown.
