In the wake of previous works, the authors propose a new approach for the identification and
evolution of the flame front in an optical SI engine. Currently, it is an essential prerogative to …

To carry out increasingly sophisticated checks, which comply with international regulations
and stringent constraints, on-board computational systems are called upon to manipulate a …

A dielectric barrier discharge igniter (BDI) ensures engine stable combustion at lean and/or
diluted conditions by the generation of non-equilibrium low-temperature plasma (LTP) …

The aim of herein work is to develop an automatized algorithm for detecting, as objectively
as possible, the flame front evolution of lean/ultra-lean mixtures ignited by low temperature …

Radio-Frequency corona-based ignition systems are currently being investigated by the
engine research community for their capability to ensure robust combustion at challenging …

Engine research community is developing innovative strategies capable of reducing fuel
consumption and pollutant emissions while ensuring, at the same time, satisfactory …

Currently, conventional spark-ignition engines are unfit to satisfy the growing customer
requirements on efficiency while complying with the legislations on pollutant emissions. New …

Emission legislation for passenger cars is requiring a drastic reduction of exhaust pollutants
from internal combustion engines (ICE). In this framework, achieving a quick heating-up of …

To restrain the environmental impact of modern SI engines, igniters must guarantee stable
combustions with low cycle-to-cycle variability in extreme operating conditions (high EGR …

Currently, conventional spark–ignition engines face challenges in meeting the ever-growing
demands of customers and increasingly stringent regulations regarding pollutant emissions …
