Themes:

• Lean NOx Traps
• Diesel Particle Filters
• Synergies between these two components in actual systems

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 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. This is the 6th workshop 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 the Workshop

The sixth CLEERS workshop will be hosted by General Motors at their R&D Center in Warren, Michigan. The sixth workshop will be held on September 23^rd and 24^th. The detailed scope and agenda are still being defined, but it is anticipated that the focus of this workshop will be an update on the modeling of lean NOx traps, diesel particulate filters, and possible synergies between these two components in actual systems. As with the previous CLEERS workshops, this will be a public meeting open to all who are interested in the most recent developments in understanding and simulating the performance of these devices under realistic conditions.
