The effects of tumble combined with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) on the combustion and emissions were experimentally investigated in a spark ignition engine in this study. A low pressure loop EGR system and a variable tumble valve in intake ports were employed, by which wide range of EGR...

A full-engine-cycle multidimensional model was applied to investigate the effect of late (intake valve closing) IVC on combustion and emission characteristics in a diesel (premixed charge compression ignition) PCCI engine in a wide speed and load range. The results indicate that the in-cylinder...

By integrating an updated multi-dimensional model and the NSGA-II (non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II), the combustion of a RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) engine fueled with methanol/diesel was optimized. Based on the optimization results, parametric study was...

A full-cycle computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation coupled with detailed chemical kinetics mechanism has been used to investigate the effect of start of injection (SOI) timing and intake valve close (IVC) timing on performance and emissions of diesel premixed charge compression ignition...
