[EN] In a fuel injector at the end of the injection, the needle descent and the rapid pressure drop in the nozzle leads to
discharge of large, slow-moving liquid structures. This unwanted discharge is often referred as ...
[EN] Designing future ultra-high efficiency, ultra-low emission engines requires an in depth understanding of the multiscale,
multi-phase phenomena taking place in the combustion chamber. The performance of the fuel ...
[EN] The drop impact onto porous surfaces has important applications in many fields, such as painting, paper coating,
drug delivery and cosmetic sprays. In most of these applications, the optimisation of the deposition ...

[EN] Post-injection dribble is known to lead to incomplete atomisation and combustion due to the release of slow
moving, and often surface-bound, liquid fuel after the end of the injection event. This can have a negative ...

[EN] Post-injection fuel dribble is known to lead to incomplete atomisation and combustion due to the release of slow-moving, and often surface-bound, liquid fuel after the end of injection. This can have a negative effect ...
[EN] The mixing of fuels with oxidizer has been an increasingly interesting area of research with new engine technologies
and the need to reduce emissions, while leveraging efficiency. High-efficiency combustion systems ...
