ECR Engines entered into a technical partnership with Convergent Science, Inc. on Wednesday to enhance its engine performance in NASCAR competition.

Convergent Science will provide computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to study three-dimensional, multiphase moving-grid simulation of air and fuel flows through engines. The software enables optimized internal flows of air, fuel, and air/fuel mixtures through simulation.

“This is going to be a great enhancement for our engine programs,”said Richie Gilmore, chief operating officer for ECR Engines. “Convergent Science is a leader in the use of CFD software and all of our preliminary testing has yielded great results. We look forward to having them on board as we continue to improve our engine performance and durability.”

“We look forward to working with one of NASCAR’s premier race teams in this fast-paced environment and the opportunity to provide our expertise in CFD to assist in the enhancements of the ECR engine programs,” said Rob Kaczmarek, director of sales and marketing for Convergent Science. “The ECR team, along with NASCAR, is an excellent platform to strengthen our products and services, and we look forward to winning some races with them.”
