Second and Third DOE Crosscut Workshop on Lean Emissions Reduction Simulation

Agenda | Summary | Presentations | Attendees

---

Themes:

• Simulation of Lean NOx Traps
• Simulation of Diesel Particulate Filters

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 second and third CLEERS workshops were hosted by Ford at the Scientific Research Laboratory in Dearborn, Michigan. The second workshop was held on October 16th and the morning of October 17th (1 ½ days total) and was focused on simulation of "Lean NOx traps (LNT's)." The third workshop focused on simulation of "Diesel Particulate Traps (DPT's)" was held on the afternoon of October 17th and all day on October 18th (1 ½ days total). Both of these workshops were planned in response to feedback from the first CLEERS workshop held in Knoxville, Tennessee during May 2001.

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 fourth and fifth workshops is now underway. These workshops are scheduled to be held April 30th, May 1st, and May 2nd at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with the focus themes being "Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx using Urea/Ammonia and Non-Urea/Ammonia Reductants," respectively.
