Development of computational tools for industrial combustion

随着欧洲和美国部分地区的趋势，预计加拿大将对运输和发电的空气污染物排放制定越来越严格的规定。不断上涨的油价进一步加速了对节能低排放发电系统的探索。尽管可再生能源在交通运输和发电方面变得越来越重要，但在可预见的未来，这些部门仍将依赖大规模燃烧。因此，新型燃烧装置必须能够在不同燃料（包括混合燃料）上运行，保持最佳运行状态，并最大限度地减少空气污染物，如氮氧化物（NOx）和煤烟。

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.
