摘要提案编号 CTS-0320621 首席研究员：O. Zikanov，密歇根大学迪尔伯恩分校 通过这项重大研究仪器拨款，密歇根大学迪尔伯恩分校机械工程系将为新建立的计算热流体实验室购买设备。该设备的核心部分是一个基于Linux的高性能并行处理器集群。该基础设施将支持正在进行的研究工作，重点是节能技术和污染物排放控制。特别感兴趣的领域包括液态金属的湍流、柴油发动机中污染物的燃烧、形成和破坏、多相流中的颗粒分散以及污染物的大气扩散。新实验室还将在增强工程学院课程的计算部分方面发挥重要作用，并促进研究生和本科生高性能计算方面的培训。

ABSTRACTProposal No. CTS-0320621Principal Investigator: O. Zikanov, University of Michigan- DearbornWith this Major Research Instrumentation grant, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan - Dearborn will acquire equipment for newly established computational thermo-fluid laboratory. The central part of the equipment is a Linux-based cluster of high-performance parallel processors. This infrastructure will support the ongoing research effort emphasizing energy-efficient technologies and control of pollutant emission. The areas of particular interest include turbulent flows of liquid metals, combustion, formation and destruction of pollutants in diesel engines, particle dispersion in multi-phase flows, and atmospheric dispersion of pollutants. The new laboratory will also play a major role in enhancing the computational component of the College of Engineering curriculum and facilitate training of graduate and undergraduate students in high-performance computing.
