MODELING THE AUTOIGNITION, COMBUSTION AND POLLUTANT FORMATION IN A HIGH-SPEED DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE

With ever increasing challenge in meeting emissions standards dictated by countries, engine manufacturers are turning to computer models to help predict engine performance. In order to reduce pollutant emissions, engines have to sacrifice some efficiency. By understanding the basic combustion processes, we further our knowledge into the physics behind actual phenomena in our bid to gain some control over it. One technology that benefits from this research is diesel combustion
