Consortium for Next Generation Combustion System CAE (CNGC)

Purpose and Objectives of the Consortium

Purpose

The Consortium for Next Generation Combustion Systems CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) aims to create a framework for designing developing tools necessary for advanced combustion systems. The Consortium will use simulation technology in a HPC environment, such as the Supercomputer Fugaku, and develop a manufacturing framework through industry-government-academia collaboration.

Objectives

• To select the software for the Next Generation Combustion System CAE, to conduct verification testing, to identify the key issues, and to present proposals for next-generation technology
• To exchange of opinions and provide opportunities for interaction through research
