Due to its potential to extend the lean limit or overcome knock-limited conditions on spark-
ignited (SI) engines, the pre-chamber spark-ignition (PCSI) concept has gained attention as …

Pre-chamber spark ignition combustion has shown several advantages for its
implementation in engines, mainly related to its capability to achieve stable operation at lean …

Experimental results from a study on the evolution of gas jets ejected through the orifices of
a pre-chamber in a heavy-duty optical engine are presented. The work examines conditions …

Turbulent jet ignition (TJI) is a promising strategy to ignite diluted air-fuel mixtures; this is
usually generated by igniting a fraction of the mixture inside a small pre-chamber …

An effective way to ignite low-reactivity mixtures in engines is to allocate the ignition source,
usually a sparkplug, inside a pre-chamber (PC); the ignition of the premixed charge in the …

Prospective combustion engine applications require the highest possible energy conversion
efficiencies for environmental and economic sustainability. For conventional Spark-Ignition …

Significant improvements in the power density and efficiency of lean-burn large gas-engines
with a prechamber and their high flexibility in meeting fluctuating power requirements …

State-of-the-art spark-ignition engines mainly rely on the quasi-hemispherical flame
propagation combustion method. Despite significant development efforts to obtain high …

This paper presents a multi-chamber, multi-zone engine model to predict the ignition of a
lean main chamber by a pre-chamber. The two chambers are connected by small cylindrical …

A flame front is quenched when approaching a cold wall due to excessive heat loss.
Accurate computation of combustion rate in such situations requires accounting for near wall …
