CSE has widespread experience using the latest CFD codes for both analysis and design. Systems modeled include gas turbine combustion components (i.e. swirlers, transition pieces, flow conditioners, premixers, and flame holders) as well as sprinkler activation, and smoke movement and control (i.e. in atria, submarines, and storage warehouses.) Additionally, CSE has successfully developed and implemented reduced chemical kinetics reaction mechanisms into commercially available CFD codes for minor species concentration predictions. 

Selective Experience includes:

	Applied CFD to design and analyze a wide range of gas turbine components including premixers, transition pieces, flow conditioners, fuel nozzles, and swirlers.
	Predicted combustor pollutant emissions (NO and CO) by developing and incorporating reduced chemical kinetics mechanisms.
	Used CFD to model and analyze an array of fire engineering issues including sprinkler and smoke detector response to specific fires; atrium smoke-control system; vehicle fires (including the modeling of flame spread and thermal injury to passengers); smoke dispersion; water mist dispersion; and the effect of room geometries on smoke movement.
	Used zone models to predict smoke movement, sprinkler and detector activation, and tenability.
	Utilized the SANDIA suite of combustion codes to study flame kinetics.
	Performed stochastic simulations of radiative output of turbulent pool fires.
	Performed fire hazard analyses to determine time to HEPA filter failure as a result of fire in a radioactive material processing facility and to develop technical requirements for halon-alternative suppression systems in computer facilities, aircraft hush houses, and Navy frigates.
	Developed a software tool to assist in the selection of halon-alternative suppression systems.
	Developed an analytical model to predict surface temperatures required for ignition (due to self-heating) of unprocessed cotton due to asymmetric heating.
