Abstract: Previous engine data suggest that slower flame propagation in lean-burn engines could be due to slower flame expansion velocity at lean conditions than at stoichiometric combustion. Two classes ...

Abstract: An existing multidimensional in-cylinder flow code, KIVA, was modified to calculate gas flow and fuel injection in a simplified (no valve stem and simplified valve-head geometry) engine intake ...

Abstract: A scaling law for transient, turbulent, incompressible, round jets is reported. Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations were obtained using a k-ε model for turbulence. The constants ...

Abstract: A quasi-steady gas-jet model was applied to examine the spray trajectory in swirling flow during the ignition-delay period in an open-chamber diesel engine timed to start combustion at top dead ...

Abstract: A Mean Value Model (MVM) for a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine is presented. Using a phenomenological zero-dimensional approach with five continuous and three discrete states ...
