[EN] A comparison between the Σ-Y atomization model and a classical DDM approach has been carried out for diesel spray
CFD simulations. The Σ-Y model, originally proposed by Vallet and Borghi (1999), is based on an Eulerian ...
[EN] Control strategies such as variations in injection pressure and timing have been used by researchers to reduce in-cylinder exhaust emissions and meet legislation standards. Postinjection has been studied for several ...

Despite great practical interest in how sprays emanate from fuel injectors, the near-nozzle region has
remained a challenge for spray modelers. Recently, Eulerian models have shown promise in capturing
the fast gas-liquid ...

[EN] Current trends in engine design indicate the necessity to take advantage of the highest rates of heat
transfer associated with nucleate boiling, mostly at high engine loads. When used in conjunction
with advanced ...

Nowadays turbochargers play an important role in improving internal combustion engines (ICE) performance.
Usually, engine manufacturers use computer codes to predict the behaviour of both engine
and turbocharger, the ...
[EN] Gasoline direct injection (GDI) nozzles are manufactured to meet geometric specifications with length scales on
the order of a few hundred microns. The machining tolerances of these nominal dimensions are not always ...
