SiCortex “Science to Science” Webcast Series to Feature Chemically-reacting Fluid Flows from Purdue University
WHAT: SiCortex, Inc., maker of the world’s most energy-efficient high-productivity computing (HPC) systems, will host the next installment of its “Science to Science” Webinar series, a global industry forum highlighting the use of HPC systems in advancing scientific discovery.
Purdue University’s School of Mechanical Engineering researcher and Professor of Mechanical Engineering John Abraham will present “Chemically-reacting Fluid Flows Simulations, with Applications to Engines.” Improving the efficiency of the fuel burning chemical conversion process used in transportation and power plants can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other toxic pollutant emissions that affect human health. Chemically-reacting fluid flow simulations help scientists radically improve the energy-efficiency of engines. Dr. Abraham will present his team’s research on chemically-reacting fluid flow simulations, including challenges encountered and insights gained. Dr. Abraham will also review Flow, Large-Eddy and Direct Simulation (FLEDS), the in-house developed code used to carry out these simulations over large, high-count processor systems.
WHY: In each installment of the series, scientists from renowned academic institutions present the results of groundbreaking research projects and discuss the implications of their findings using dynamic visual presentations. The previous Science-to-Science webinar featured an Astrophysics research team from Louisiana State University presenting their work on simulating black holes and gamma-ray bursts. Future webcasts will feature research results and thought-provoking discussions in physics, earth sciences, computer science and ecology.
WHEN: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 11:00 ET. Registration is now open.
WHERE: Registration information is available at http://sicortex.com/news_events/campaigns/purdue_webcast.
WHO: “Science to Science” Webcasts are intended for scientists, mathematicians and enthusiasts of the scientific community.
