Abstract: A finite-volume method for three-dimensional, steady, incompressible flows in complex geometries is presented. The method uses generalized Body-Fitted Coordinates to accurately take into account the ...

Abstract: Finite element models of fast-response CO-AX thermocouples typically used for heat transfer measurements in diesel engines have been developed. Due to the small differences in thermal properties ...

Abstract: A computer simulation has been modified to study the effects of valve event parameters (lift, duration, and phasing) on spark-ignition engine performance. The zero-dimensional model employs ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the knock initiation and development period was conducted in a single-cylinder research engine. Cylinder pressure was recorded at two locations in the combustion chamber ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion has shown the potential to improve gasoline engine efficiency, by integration into future dual-mode spark ignition/HCCI engines. With the current trend of downsizing ...

Abstract: A non-linear, transient, single-cylinder diesel engine simulation has been developed for predictions of instantaneous engine speed and torque. The foundation of our model is a physically based, ...

Abstract: A flexible model for computing one-dimensional, unsteady manifold gas dynamics in single-cylinder spark-ignition and diesel engines has been developed. The numerical method applies an explicit, ...

Abstract: A significant source of unburned hydrocarbon emissions from internal combustion engines originates from the flow of unburned fuel/air mixture into and out of crevices in the piston-cylinder-ring ...

Abstract: A technique which uses trained neural nets to model the compressor in the context of a turbocharged diesel engine simulation is introduced. This technique replaces the usual interpolation of ...
