Abstract: The simulation based investigation of the variable displacement engine is motivated by a desire to enable unthrottled operation at part load, and hence eliminate pumping losses. The mechanism ...

Abstract: Diesel engine combustion and emission formation is highly nonlinear and thus creates a challenge related to engine diagnostics and engine control with emission feedback. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to the optimization of a dynamic systems design and control. Traditionally, these problems have been solved either sequentially or in a combined manner. We ...

Abstract: Naturally occurring thermal stratification significantly impacts the characteristics of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion. The in-cylinder gas temperature distributions prior ...

Abstract: A two-pronged experimental and computational study was conducted to explore the formation, transport, and vaporization of a wall film located at the piston surface within a four-valve, pent-roof, ...
