International Collaborations

The need to reduce CO2 emissions is global, and the CCMSC is fostering international collaborations in support of its mission to demonstrate exascale computing with V&V/UQ to more rapidly deploy a new technology for providing low cost, low emission electric power generation. We highlight the work of three of our visiting international scholars: Rafi Malik…

One-Dimensional Turbulence Modeling of Coal Combustion

James C. Sutherland, Babak Goshayeshi Overview High-fidelity simulation of turbulent combustion is an expensive endeavor because of the range of length and time scales present and the complexity of the physical phenomena involved (nonlinear coupling between mixing and reaction). LES resolves large length and time scales while modeling unresolved scales. LES…

Particle Combustion

Particle Reactions Combustion of the coal is at the heart of the boiler. The mass release and the heat release due to coal combustion must be known in both space and time in order to calculate the…

Radiation Modeling with RMCRT

Radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer in the boiler, with the largest section of the boiler dedicated to capturing the radiant energy generated by the coal and gas reactions. Because the…

CO2 capture in oxy-combustion

Let's explain how oxy-combustion technology works by Alstom Power. Oxy-combustion consists of burning fossil fuel in a mixture of oxygen, produced in and Air Separation Unit (ASU) and re-circulated…
