This paper investigates the complex multiphase flow developing inside the micro-orifices of
diesel injector nozzles during pilot injection. High speed micro-visualisations of a …

In light-duty direct-injection (DI) diesel engines, combustion chamber geometry influences
the complex interactions between swirl and squish flows, spray-wall interactions, as well as …

Adverse effects of global warming due to the greenhouse gas emissions is changing the
actual paradigm for the use energy resources. In the absence of a mid-term solution for …

As computational capabilities continue to grow, exploring the limits of computational fluid
dynamics to capture complex and elusive phenomena, which are otherwise difficult to study …

Injection continuous rate-shaping strategies, realized by means of state-of-the-art Common
rail solenoid and direct acting piezoelectric injectors, have been tested at a dynamometer …

The noise source of hybrid electric vehicle is varied, which makes the frequency band from
low-frequency to high-frequency distribution. Using a single material to control the hybrid …

New engine hardware and injection strategies allow modern engines to meet stringent
emissions regulations but can require extensive engine testing to identify optimum operating …

A previous study addressed combustion-noise reduction by optimizing the interval between
two peaks in the pressure-rise rate (dP/dθ) of premixed charge combustion ignition with the …

The fundamental objective of acoustic barriers is to preserve the inhabitants of nearby areas
from the high noise generated by road traffic. It is possible to significantly improve the …

Pilot–main injection strategies are investigated in the short dwell-time range at medium load
and speed conditions for a low-temperature combustion diesel engine endowed with …
