Development of computational tools for industrial combustion

Increasingly stringent regulations on airborne pollutant emissions for transportation and power generation are expected in Canada following the trends in Europe and some parts of the United States. Rising oil prices have further accelerated the search for alternative fuel-efficient and low-emission power generation systems. Although renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important for both transportation and power generation, these sectors will rely on large-scale combustion for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, novel combustion devices must be developed that can run on different fuels (including blended fuels), maintain optimal operating conditions and minimize airborne pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot.
