First Crosscut Workshop on Lean Emissions Reduction Simulation

Agenda | Summary | Abstracts | Presentations | Attendees

---

Themes:

• Addressing the Full-System Context for Lean Exhaust Emissions Control

Objectives:

• Reduce duplication of effort among separate research groups
• Provide up-to-date information on emissions control simulation tools
• Enhance collaboration among industry, government and universities
• Improve recognition of key research priorities

Purpose

The purpose of previous, these and subsequent CLEERS workshops is to solicit input from prominent researchers in Government, Universities, and Industry on the current state-of-the-art in simulation of lean exhaust emissions control. These are the 2nd and 3rd workshops in a series sponsored by the DOE Office of Heavy Vehicle Technologies (OHVT) and the DOE Diesel Crosscut Team. The results of the workshop discussions, especially the all-participant discussion at the end, will be documented for the DOE Office of Transportation Technology (OTT) for consideration in improving R&D priorities and technical focus in DOE-supported transportation programs.

About Workshop

The first CLEERS workshop was held at the National Transportation Research Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, on May 7-8, 2001. The central theme was "Addressing the Full-System Context for Lean Exhaust Emissions Control." The global issue of system-wide emissions component interactions was selected as the first topic in order to help clarify relationships among the various emissions simulation activities currently funded by DOE. In addition, system-wide simulation capabilities are a major priority for the Diesel Crosscut Team.

The workshop agendas and copies of most presentations are available from this site. Workshop discussions have been summarized in a report to DOE, including specific recommendations to the Office of Transportation Technology (OTT) regarding R&D priorities and technical focus in DOE-supported transportation programs.

Planning for second and third workshops is now underway. It is expected that the next workshop will be held in October with a focus on modeling of "NOx adsorbers" and "Catalyzed Particulate Filters." More details of this meeting will be presented here when information becomes available.
