Dual fuel engines, powered by natural gas and ignited by a small quantity of diesel fuel,
have emerged in marine and power generation sectors as extremely attractive solutions due …

In this work, a universal methodology for ignition delay time (IDT) correlation of
multicomponent fuel mixtures is reported. The method is applicable over wide ranges of …

This work has been created during my employment as a research assistant at the Institute for
Automotive Engineering Stuttgart at the University of Stuttgart under the direction of Prof. Dr …

A phenomenological combustion model for HCCI applications–the 3-Stage heat release
model–which predicts low, intermediate and high temperature heat release (LTR, ITR and …

Modern Diesel engines have become ever more complex systems with many degrees of
freedom. Simultaneously, with increasing computational power, simulations of engines have …

In-cylinder pressure signal has been widely adopted to obtain simple offline and online
diagnosis of the combustion process through one-zone analysis, which provides the …

State of the art high-pressure fuel injectors offer the ability to inject multiple times per cycle,
and can reach very low fuel amounts per injection event. This behaviour allows the …

To effectively reduce fossil fuel dependence in the transport sector, an unprecedented
increase in renewable fuel production is required. Short chain alcohols, such as ethanol and …

As powertrains and IC engines continue to grow in complexity, many vehicle manufacturers
(OEMs) are turning to simulation in an effort to reduce design validation and calibration …

Climate change pushes the decarbonization of international shipping. Though many
technologies have been proposed, the most feasible way is to operate engines with low …
