Christopher J. Montgomery
Senior Engineer

Summary
Dr. Montgomery has been working in the area of
combustion and combustion simulation since 1988. Since
joining Reaction Engineering International in 1997,
Dr. Montgomery has worked extensively on industrial
projects including modeling of rotary kilns, incinerators,
and coal and oil-fired boilers including design of systems
to inject pollutant reducing reagents. He has also
contributed significantly to research projects on adaptive
mesh refinement and combining aerosol dynamics with CFD. He
has developed and applied reduced chemical kinetic
mechanisms for modeling production and destruction of NOx
in coal-fired utility boilers, for combustion of
hydrocarbon fuels, and for incineration of hazardous
chemicals.
He was recently the principal investigator and project
manager on an NSF Phase II SBIR award that created a
computational problem solving environment for creating,
optimizing, and validating reduced chemical kinetic
mechanisms that can be easily implemented into commercial
CFD codes and worked with Fluent, Inc. to implement these
models through user defined functions. He was also the
technical lead on an Air Force project simulating
hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet combustors using reduced
mechanisms and advanced chemistry tabulation techniques.
Dr. Montgomery is currently the PI and project manager on a
Phase II SBIR from the US Air Force aimed at developing
computational and experimental techniques for screening
soot-reducing additives for aircraft engines.
