This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to develop the Engine Combustion Simulator (ECS), an innovative software product that will enable researchers to develop and apply accurate chemical reactions for the design, control and optimization of the automotive engine and exhaust gas after-treatment devices. The ECS will reduce the costly and time-consuming experimental testing, as well as enable the researcher to probe concepts that are difficult or infeasible to test experimentally. These developments will accelerate the development of more fuel efficient and environmentally cleaner automobiles. At the core of the ECS is a suite of advanced database technologies and computational algorithms that enable the user to easily build accurate reaction mechanisms, and quickly perform simulation studies using these mechanisms.The broader impact/commercial potential from this technology will result in cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Even a small gain in fuel efficiency can translate to billions of savings in fuels as well as reduced dependence on foreign oil. Less fuel consumption directly scales to reduction in emissions thus lowering of greenhouse gases while improving the human health. The ECS will be made available at no-charge for use in education and research in academia and some of the key components will be made available as an open-source to the research community to foster collaboration between researchers.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目旨在开发发动机燃烧模拟器（ECS），这是一种创新的软件产品，将使研究人员能够开发和应用精确的化学反应，用于汽车发动机和废气后处理设备的设计，控制和优化。ECS将减少昂贵和耗时的实验测试，以及使研究人员能够探测的概念是困难的或不可行的实验测试。这些发展将加速开发更省油、更环保的汽车。ECS的核心是一套先进的数据库技术和计算算法，使用户能够轻松构建准确的反应机制，并使用这些机制快速进行模拟研究。该技术的广泛影响/商业潜力将导致更清洁，更省油的车辆。即使是燃料效率的微小提高也可以节省数十亿美元的燃料，并减少对外国石油的依赖。更少的燃料消耗直接减少排放，从而减少温室气体，同时改善人类健康。ECS将免费提供给学术界的教育和研究使用，其中一些关键组件将作为开放源代码提供给研究界，以促进研究人员之间的合作。
