A new modelling approach for premixed turbulent combustion has been developed and implemented in computing flow and combustion in axisymmetric engine cylinders. Turbulent transport is treated using a ...

Researchers have theoretically linked ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, unlocking new configurations for stable, efficient combustion engines due to the possible existence of any ...

IRVINE, Calif.—Despite rumors to the contrary, the internal combustion engine is far from dead. Recently we’ve seen several technological advances that will significantly boost the efficiency of ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines combine a diesel's torque and fuel efficiency with a gas engine's cleaner emissions. The HCCI technique has been a goal of automakers since the ...

The alleged experts claim that the engine Nicolaus Otto invented in 1876 is running out of gas. They're wrong. The beauty of Otto's internal-combustion gasoline engine was its unmatched developmental ...

Even today, in a time when electric power is beginning to take a major hold, internal combustion engines (ICE) are the driving forces of our world. They probably won't be that for long, though, so ...

Engine knocking can be an annoying issue to deal with, and it can even cause damage to your car. Here's why it might happen, and how you can prevent it.
