The Digest’s Multi-Slide Guide to Predictive CFD Tools for Low-Carbon Fueled Off-Road IC Engines

This project, 15% complete as of March 2024, is developing predictive CFD tools for hydrogen and methanol-fueled off-road engines. With $600k DOE funding and $450k industry cost-share in FY24, it aims to address limited understanding of low-carbon fuel impact. Key accomplishments include identifying hydrogen mixing model deficiencies, assessing combustion model shortcomings, and completing DNS setups, with a timeline running until August 2027.
