This station, the second of four on the inside portion of the exhibit, explains focused experiments at Los Alamos. The station consists of a title monitor, main monitor, pushbuton monitor, and tabletop.
FEARCE investigates and simulates turbulent chemically reactive flows in fuel combustion, such as fuel injection and fuel-air mixing, thermodynamic combustion losses, and combustion–emission formation processes in engines. Our objective is to understand turbulent flows and how they react and interact with other complicating variables, including highly nonlinear heat and mass transfer, small-scale velocity, and chemical kinetics or reactions. Our emphasis is on the fluid dynamics and chemical reactions that take place in all kinds of internal combustion engines, including the reactions between multiple species (such as air, gasoline, carbon dioxide, water, and hundreds of other species) and multiphase (liquid and gas) fluid flow.
