In the maritime transportation, e-fuels represent a valid alternative to fossil energy sources,
in order to accomplish the European Union goals in terms of climate neutrality. Among the e …

Knock is one of the main limitations on increasing spark-ignition (SI) engine efficiency. This
has been known for at least 100 years, and it is still the case today. Knock occurs when …

A numerical approach was developed based on multidimensional computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) to predict knocking combustion in a cooperative fuel research (CFR) …

A numerical study using large-eddy simulations (LES) to reproduce and understand sources
of cycle-to-cycle variation (CCV) in spark-initiated internal combustion engines (ICEs) is …

Pollutant regulations and fuel consumption concerns are the driving guidelines for increased
thermal efficiency and specific power in current internal combustion engines. The …

CFD simulations of reacting flows are fundamental investigation tools used to predict
combustion behaviour and pollutants formation in modern internal combustion engines …

Gasoline replacement with alternative non-fossil fuels compatible with existing units is
widely promoted around the world to reduce the dependency on oil-based products by …

Engine knock is one of the most limiting factors for modern Spark-Ignition (SI) engines to
achieve high efficiency targets. The stochastic nature of knock in SI units hinders the …

Fuel octane number has long been used as an indicator for anti-knock capability of
gasolines. However, whether octane number could capture the real knocking combustion …

CFD and FE tools are intensively adopted by engine manufacturers in order to prevent
thermo-mechanical failures reducing time-and cost-to market. The capability to predict …
