A CERFACS article distinguished in Scilight (https://doi.org/10.1063/10.0017474)

The recently published paper in Physics of Plasma:
“3D particle-in-cell study of the electron drift instability in a Hall Thruster using unstructured grids,” by W. Villafana, B. Cuenot, and O. Vermorel (https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0133963) has attracted the attention of Scilight (https://aip.scitation.org/journal/sci), whose goal is to present the most interesting research in the physical sciences published in AIP journals.”

ISAF project : To accelerate the transition to SAFs, SAFRAN and CERFACS have together obtained an allocation of 44 million CPU hours on the LUMI-C super-computer as part of the EuroHPC Regular Access call in November 2022.

The objective of the ISAF project is to study the impact of SAFs (Sustainable Aviation Fuels) on engine operation and pollutant emissions, using high-fidelity Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The methodology developed at CERFACS combines Analytically Reduced Chemistry (ARC) with a multi-component evaporation model to capture the effect of fuel. The target configurations range from academic burners (CRSB at CORIA, SSB at DLR Stuttgart), to isolated industrial injection systems (MICADO at ONERA, HERON at CORIA) and complete annular combustor configurations (BEARCAT at SAFRAN, NTNU test bench).Read more
