Sprays are among the most intellectually challenging and practically important topics in fluid
mechanics. This paper reviews needs, milestones, challenges, and a broad array of …

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) has become a proven method of
rapid gas diagnostics. In the present review an overview of the state of the art of TDL-based …

This overview presents examples of applications of high frame rate imaging diagnostics in
fundamental and applied combustion research. Progress in the performance of high frame …

Proper orthogonal decomposition has been utilized for well over a decade to study
turbulence and cyclic variation of flow and combustion properties in internal combustion …

Recent high-speed imaging of ignition processes in spray-guided gasoline engines has
motivated the development of the physically-based spark channel ignition monitoring model …

Gasoline direct injection (GDI) sprays are complex multiphase flows. When compared to
multi-hole diesel sprays, the plumes are closely spaced, and the sprays are more likely to …

This article reviews systematic research on combustion instabilities (principally rare, random
misfires and partial burns) in spray-guided stratified-charge (SGSC) engines operated at …

This paper presents an approach that uses Large Eddy Simulation under the Eulerian–
Lagrangian framework to model the gasoline direct-injection (GDI) spray from Engine …

Experimental investigations on the cycle-to-cycle variations of early flame propagation were
conducted at two intake air swirl ratio of 0.55 and 5.68 in a single-cylinder spark-ignition …

The objective of this study is an improved understanding of the three-dimensional in-cylinder
flow and its influence on cycle-to-cycle variations in a fired, direct-injection, spray-guided …
