The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy has selected the Wong group to receive funding for a project that advances fossil fuel technologies and also provides educational and research training opportunities. This project was selected through the University Coal Research (UCR) Program and the Historically Black Colleges & Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI) Program. These programs are intended to help educate the next generation of scientists and engineers while advancing innovative and fundamental research focused on coal-based, fossil energy resources. Our proposal is entitled “Probing Particle Impingement in Boilers and Steam Turbines Using High-Performance Computing with Parallel Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs),” and the award abstract can be read here.
