This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will prototype a novel software tool called the Engine Combustion Simulator for use by automotive engineers to more quickly and cost-effectively develop new engines. The use of combustion kinetic modeling by automotive engine researchers has been limited due to a lack of combustion kinetic mechanisms representing real fuels like diesel and gasoline, and efficient computational technologies to solve these large complex mechanisms within a practical time simulation time. This project will address these limitations by utilizing recent advances in software and database architecture for building complex mechanisms, and in numerical and symbolic methodologies that have shown excellent potential to speed up computation. The commercial value of this Simulator is high as there are currently over 5,000 automotive engineers paying over $30,000 per user in an annual license fee for commercially available engine modeling software. This Simulator brings an important capability that is currently not available in these commercial packages. New engine technologies under development such as the HCCI (homogeneous charged compression ignition) engine, hold a great promise in higher fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. If successful, this project can significantly speed up the commercialization of the HCCI engine and hence make an important societal impact in lowering the energy usage and emissions.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发一种名为发动机燃烧模拟器的新型软件工具，供汽车工程师使用，以更快、更经济地开发新发动机。由于缺乏代表真实的燃料（如柴油和汽油）的燃烧动力学机制以及在实际时间模拟时间内解决这些大型复杂机制的有效计算技术，汽车发动机研究人员对燃烧动力学建模的使用受到限制。本项目将利用软件和数据库架构方面的最新进展来解决这些局限性，以建立复杂的机制，并在数值和符号方法，已显示出良好的潜力，以加快计算。该模拟器的商业价值很高，因为目前有超过5，000名汽车工程师为每个用户支付超过30，000美元的年度许可费，用于商业可用的发动机建模软件。这个模拟器带来了一个重要的功能，目前还没有在这些商业软件包。正在开发的新发动机技术，如HCCI（均质充量压燃）发动机，在更高的燃油效率和降低排放方面有很大的希望。如果成功，该项目将大大加快HCCI发动机的商业化，从而在降低能源使用和排放方面产生重要的社会影响。
