Announced on June 7 at the High Performance Computing Symposium, a team of researchers from the University of Toronto’s Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering (MIE) performed the largest simulation of bio-jet fuel combustion to date.

These supercomputer simulations will make it possible to identify the optimal mixtures of fuel to reduce soot formation and greenhouse gas emissions. The MIE team, comprised of Professor Murray Thomson (cross-appointed to the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry), postdoctoral fellow Seth Dworkin, and PhD candidate Meghdad Saffaripour, performed their research at SciNet, Canada’s largest supercomputer research and resource centre.
