Every engine designer or manufacturer today wants to find ways to 
reduce engine emissions in pursuit of performance enhancement 
and conformation to emission standards. There are primarily two 
areas of focus for this pursuit: reduction of engine-out emissions 
and engine aftertreatment. In this lecture we will discuss the options 
available in CONVERGE and best practice recommendations to 
obtain accurate engine-out emissions. Detailed emissions modeling 
can be quite complex but can yield accurate predictions that match 
the measured data and trends across different cases. CONVERGE 
includes two detailed soot models: particulate mimic and particulate 
size mimic. CONVERGE contains acceleration strategies to make it 
feasible to account for detailed soot modeling (which includes gas-
phase chemistry for its many sub-processes such as formation via 
precursor-species, coagulation, and oxidation) in engine 
simulations. In this course, we will also discuss NOx, unburnt HC, 
and CO formation in IC engines and gas turbines, look at the models 
available in CONVERGE, and discuss case setup recommendations 
to obtain accurate predictions. 
**This lecture does not include hands-on CONVERGE Studio 
practice.**
