  • Now, they\xe2\x80\x99re extending their partnership for three more years, and adding new collaborators and capabilities to further speed the research.\nUnder a new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), the three organizations, along with DOE\xe2\x80\x99s Sandia National Laboratories, will work together to build more accurate fuel spray models and integrate them into full engine simulations.
  • This effort will build on the fuel spray and combustion modeling work the three organizations have done over the past six years, which Cummins has adopted in its own internal workflow.\nTraditional modeling approaches don\xe2\x80\x99t accurately represent the formation of a fuel spray as it emerges from the nozzle of an injector.
  • For engine makers focused on decarbonizing transportation using alternative fuels, this tool can help them make informed decisions on fuel choice and its impacts on injector and engine performance.\nX-ray and laser diagnostics will also be used to add more knowledge to injector and fuel spray models and to validate the team\xe2\x80\x99s dynamic coupling approach.
