The introduction of downsized, turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines in the
automotive market has led to a rapid increase in research on Low-speed Pre-ignition (LSPI) …

Air pollution as a result of industrialization is a serious problem in many developed and
developing countries. Gaseous nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) produced …

Recent research highlights the influence of the presence of lubricant oil droplets on the
combustion process in Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) engines. Lubricant oil is …

The practical use of hydrogen as a fuel for Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) poses
unresolved challenges. However, many issues concerning combustion control and …

Super-knock is a phenomenon triggered by pre-ignition and has limited the design envelope

Since the technology of direct injected engines has become more and more prevalent,
combustion anomalies such as pre-ignition events have been occurring with increasing …

Droplets within droplets occur in numerous situations in which two immiscible liquids
interact, for instance, binary drop collisions or when a drop of one liquid impacts onto a film …

The occurrence of abnormal combustion events leading to high peak pressures and severe
knock can be considered to be one of the main challenges for modern turbocharged, direct …

Pre-ignition in a boosted spark-ignition engine can be triggered by several mechanisms,
including oil-fuel droplets, deposits, overheated engine components and gas-phase …

Recent research on thermal reciprocating engines has focused on the influence of lubricant
oil on the combustion process, which can lead to highly undesired super-knock events. Low …
