Experimental Analysis of the Two-Phase Flow Field in Internal Combustion Engines

Abstract

The reduction of green house gases and other pollutant emissions is of highest interestin modern engine development. This can be achieved by increasing the engine efficiency. For this, new combustion processes are needed. Another possibility to decrease green house gas emissions is the combustion of bio-fuels. However, these new methods as well as the efficient combustion of bio-fuels require an understanding of the highly three-dimensional flow field inside the combustion chamber.
