Abstract: This paper presents a computational study of the effects of nitrogen and sulfur oxides doping on the ignition of methane-air mixtures under marine engine–like conditions. The performance of four detailed chemical kinetic ...

Abstract: Large two-stroke marine diesel engines have special injector geometries which differ substantially from the configurations used in most other diesel engine applications. In particular, injector orifices are distributed in ...

Abstract: Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is the predominant marine fuel. In the present study, a detailed model of HFO thermophysical properties, recently developed by the authors, is utilized for extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ...

Abstract: This paper presents an optimization study of the geometry of three-dimensional micro-thrust bearings in a wide range of convergence ratios. The optimization goal is the maximization of the bearing ...
