Combustion, Environment, and Heating Technology 
-- The Role of High Performance Simulation

October 6-7, 1994

Ohio Supercomputer Center
Columbus, Ohio

- A meeting sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society 
(Scientific Supercomputing Subcommittee) and the Society 
of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity 
Group on Supercomputing. 

CALL FOR PAPERS

In light of the emerging advances in combustion 
technology and its benefit to United States industry and 
science, the Program for Computational Reactive 
Mechanics (PCRM) at the Ohio Supercomputer Center has 
organized this meeting in Columbus, Ohio, on October 6-
7, 1994. 

Nationally recognized participants from academia, 
industry, and national laboratories will report on the 
state of the art in combustion technology, heating 
equipment technology, environmental impact of 
combustion, and advances in high performance computing. 
The participants will share ideas and explore the role 
of high performance simulation to advance the technology 
for combustion, environment, and heating.

+++ A Preliminary Program +++

Topics for the meeting include but not limited to: 

-- High Performance Computing
-- Computing Reactive Flows on High Performance 
Computers 
-- Computing Combustion Kinetics on High Performance 
Computers 
-- Computing Energy Transport on High Performance 
Computers 
-- High Performance Simulations for Heating Equipments 
(Furnaces) 
-- New Combustion Technologies
-- Two sessions for contributed presentations in oral 
and poster format. 

+++ A partial list of invited speakers:

1.      Dr. Martha A. Krebs, Director, Office of Energy 
Research
2.      C. W. Garret, DOE Fossil Energy
3.      Don Hardesty, Sandia Combustion Lab
4.      L.A. Ruth, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center
5.      Tom O' Brien, Morgantown Energy Technology Center
6.      P. J. Smith, U of Utah
7.      R.H Essenhigh, The Ohio State University
8.      C.W. Westbrook, Lawrence Livermore National Lab
9.      Bernie Alder, Lawrence Livermore National Lab
10.     Dr. W.A. Fiveland, Babcock & Wilcox
11.     Software Vendors for Reactive Mechanics 
(Exhibition)

Selected papers will be considered for publication in 
The Journal of Supercomputing. Abstracts and highlights 
of presentations will be available, in both hardcopy and 
electronic versions, to attendees and the combustion 
community. The Ohio Supercomputer Center will archive 
the proceedings on its information server for easy 
electronic retrieval from around the globe. 
Announcements of this meeting and its results will be 
posted to appropriate news groups and organizations. 

+++ Who should attend and participate:

Combustion scientists and engineers, computational and 
computer scientists, environmentalists, managers and R&D 
personnel in the industry and government, and faculty, 
researchers, and students from academia who are 
interested in high performance simulations of reactive 
processes. 

+++ Background

Industrial productivity and product quality of our 
nation rely upon available clean energy. Combustion 
provides 91 percent of the useful energy and we use 75 
percent of the energy for heating operations in 
industry. 

Pollutants from combustion are responsible for a major 
portion of environmentally deleterious atmospheric 
compounds in the form of NOx, SOx, COx, soot, and other 
incombustible metallic and non-metallic compounds. 

U.S. industries need to place a high priority on energy 
use efficiency, productivity, and product quality. 
Incorporating new designs and technologies, or 
commercial scale retrofits requires detailed and 
comprehensive performance analyses of new technologies. 

High performance computing simulations with mega- and 
teraflops computing will be useful in evaluating the 
impact of new designs of combustion and heating 
equipment on productivity and the environment. 
Successful computer modeling on smaller computing 
architectures has paved the way for these applications 
to progress to supercomputing environments. High 
performance computing will afford detailed and 
comprehensive analyses for industry to make the 
decisions for new technologies. 

+++ How to Contribute:

Contributed presentations in poster format are invited 
in areas consistent with the conference theme. A 1-page 
abstract typed single-spaced on 8-1/2" x 11" bond paper 
must be submitted, including title of presentation, 
author(s) names and affiliations, postal and e-mail 
addresses, telephone and fax numbers.

In a poster format, presentation materials are displayed 
using 8-1/2" x 11" sheets mounted on a standard poster 
board (22" x 28"). Poster boards will be available at 
the conference.
