To adequately elucidate the complex in-cylinder flow structures and its underlying effects on
the thermal processes inside an internal combustion engine (ICE) has long been a daunting …

This work seeks to characterize the fidelity needed in a gasoline surrogate with the intent to
replicate the complex autoignition behavior exhibited within advanced combustion engines …

The cycle-to-cycle variation in the knock intensity is commonly encountered under abnormal
combustion conditions. The severity of these abnormal combustion events can vary …

In the present work, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of a single-cylinder
gasoline compression ignition (GCI) engine were performed to investigate the impact of …

Abstract The DOE Co-Optima initiative focuses on investigating the ability of fuel properties
to work in tandem with advanced combustion engines to increase fuel economy. One of the …

Soot formation is an intricate phenomenon, and soot propensity of a fuel is interwoven with
the fuel composition, physical and chemical properties, and combustion environment. The …

Growing environmental concerns and demand for a better fuel economy are driving forces
that motivate the research for more advanced engines. Multi-mode combustion strategies …

Octane sensitivity (OS), defined as the research octane number (RON) minus the motor
octane number (MON) of a fuel, has gained interest among researchers due to its effect on …
