Behind computational scientist Matthew McNenly and mechanical engineer Russell Whitesides, the video wall shows a snapshot of an engine simulation with the flame front colored by the local velocity. Zero-order Reaction Kinetics (Zero-RK) enables engine designers to use more accurate chemical models in these simulations to better predict engine performance, including critical phenomena like auto-ignition (or knock) and emissions formation (for example, soot and nitrogen oxides).

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and engineers have secured major grants through the Department of Energy’s Technology Commercialization Fund. Two of the projects are related to combustion, two focus on advanced alloys and one deals with development work to provide upgraded nuclear radiation shielding.
