In this reported work, operating parameters affecting spatial evolution of combustion soot and the associated transport processes into crevice region in a light-duty diesel engine were appraised. Numerical computation of diesel combustion was undertaken by means of linking a plug-in chemistry...

This computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study is performed to investigate the combustion characteristics and emissions formation processes of biodiesel fuels in a light-duty diesel engine. A compact reaction mechanism with 80 species and 303 reactions is used to account for the effects of...
