Red Bull Powertrains was created in 2021 to supply power units to Red Bull's F1 teams. The engine under development will run on 100% sustainable fuel to meet updated F1 regulations which come into effect in 2026.
As a new company, Red Bull Powertrains is building its power unit from the ground up. From the outset, the powertrain has to be a high-performance, race-winning machine – an ambitious goal to be achieved over the next three years. Convergent Science will support Red Bull Powertrains in an analysis-driven design process 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 quick and easy, allowing the engineering team to evaluate design options faster. CONVERGE's ease of use has led to its adoption not only by engine manufacturers and F1 teams around the world, but also by manufacturers in a variety of industries including electric vehicle systems, rotating machinery and infrastructure of renewable energy.
“We are thrilled that Red Bull Powertrains has chosen CONVERGE to support the development of its next-generation racing engine,” said Kelly Senecal, co-founder and owner of Convergent Science. “We work hard to keep CONVERGE at the forefront of simulation technology and it's exciting to see Red Bull Powertrains leverage the advanced capabilities of our software to design a best-in-class power unit in just a few short years. We look forward to seeing Oracle Red Bull Racing racing in the coming seasons.”
Christian Horner, Team Principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing and CEO of Red Bull Powertrains, said: “Our power unit development for the 2026 season is evolving day by day at our new Red Bull Powertrains factory, with a highly motivated engineers and mechanics. We continue to invest in the people and facilities to bring competitive power units to the grid, and to achieve this we need the best tools in every area. CONVERGE CFD undoubtedly fulfills this need and will help us build a winning ICE. Their highly detailed combustion models allow 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.”
