Wind farms – a more effective layout using modeling
The development of wind farms requires the optimal placement of wind turbines in relation to each other in order to maximize overall production. If the turbines are too close to each other, wake

Pollutant emissions: better knowing them to fight them better
Vehicle approval certifies that the emissions of said vehicle meet the specifications imposed by existing standards. Although current regulations only concern a limited number of chemical species, the

Ignition simulation
In order to reduce fuel consumption in gasoline engines, manufacturers are focusing their efforts on turbocharging and downsizing. However, this option leads to an increase in the knock phenomenon

Life and death of soot: a model to control the phenomenon
Vehicle approval standards require increasingly high levels of engine performance (low fuel consumption and low emissions) over a broad working range. It is for this reason that new engine

LES moves to rapid transients for cleaner powertrains
Gasoline direct injection engines emit soot particles during rapid transients. This still poorly understood phenomenon is taken into account during new WLTCs a, aimed at more accurately reproducing

Observation of soot in a diesel flame
The reduction in IC engine particle emissions requires a detailed knowledge of the physicochemical processes at work during combustion. While fuels have long since been considered as a constant for
