Abstract: Drop–wall interaction is a complex phenomenon encountered in diverse industrial applications. An important example is fuel droplets impinging on a high-temperature ignition plug in a direct-injection compression-ignition ...

Abstract: In this study, the application of ultra-high fuel injection pressure (up to 300 MPa) is compared with that of a post injection strategy for the reduction of soot at medium load conditions with exhaust gas recirculation ...

Abstract: Modern diesel engines are charged with the difficult problem of balancing emissions and efficiency. For this work, a variant of the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm was applied for the first time to the experimental ...

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, interactions of fuel droplets and heated walls can significantly affect the combustion process and engine performance. The formation and characteristics of secondary droplets from drop-wall ...

Abstract: The interaction of a droplet with a solid wall is relevant in various engineering applications. The properties of the resulting secondary droplets are determined by the wall temperature, ambient pressure, impact momentum, ...
