MADISON, WI, USA, February 21, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Convergent Science is pleased to announce a new partnership with Red Bull Powertrains. The powertrain manufacturer will use CONVERGE, Convergent Science’s industry-leading computational fluid dynamics software, to develop a new racing powertrain that will debut in the 2026 season.
Red Bull Powertrains was created to supply power units to the Red Bull F1 teams in 2021. The engine under development will run on 100% sustainable fuel to comply with the updated F1 regulations that come into force in 2026.
As a new company, Red Bull Powertrains builds its powertrain from the ground up. Right out of the gate, the powertrain should be a high-performance car capable of winning races, an ambitious goal that can be achieved within the next three years. Convergent Science will support Red Bull Powertrains in the design process based on analysis of the engine’s combustion system, working to optimize fuel spray and combustion chamber parameters.
Red Bull Powertrains will apply CONVERGE’s detailed combustion models to predict the performance of various engine designs. With autonomous meshing, setting up new simulations with different geometric configurations in CONVERGE is simple and fast, allowing the engineering team to evaluate design options more quickly. CONVERGE’s ease of use has led to its adoption not only by engine manufacturers and F1 teams worldwide, but also by manufacturers in a variety of industries including electric vehicle systems, rolling stock and renewable energy infrastructure.
“We are thrilled that Red Bull Powertrains has selected CONVERGE to support the development of its next-generation race engine,” said Kelly Senecal, co-founder and owner of Convergent Science. “We work hard to keep CONVERGE on the cutting edge of simulation technology, and it’s exciting to see Red Bull Powertrains take advantage of our software’s advanced capabilities to design a best-in-class powertrain in a few years. We look forward to watching Oracle Red Bull Racing in the coming seasons.”
Christian Horner, Principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing Team and CEO of Red Bull Powertrains, said: “The development of our powertrain for the 2026 season is progressing day by day at our new factory at Red Bull Powertrains with a highly motivated group. engineers and mechanics. We continue to invest in people and facilities to bring competitive power units to the grid, and to achieve that goal we need the best tools in every field. CONVERGE CFD certainly fills that need and will help us create a race-winning ICE. Their highly detailed combustion models enable us to visualize and simulate the inside of the cylinder during combustion, a process that will accelerate our development of a more powerful and efficient engine for the next generation of Formula 1.”
