Abstract The Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines (Co-Optima) initiative from the US
Department of Energy aims to co-develop fuels and engines in an effort to maximize energy …

Gasoline engines have an even greater potential for optimization. New fuels composition
should be corresponded with modern engine technologies requirements. One of these …

This work seeks to characterize the fidelity needed in a gasoline surrogate with the intent to
replicate the complex autoignition behavior exhibited within advanced combustion engines …

Methanol is an attractive fuel that can be produced using renewable sources. However, its
low reactivity may present challenges to combustion modes (like Spark-Assisted …

This study investigates sources of particulate matter (PM) from a direct-injected spark-
ignition (DISI) engine, all of which are likely the result of poor mixture formation, although …

Abstract The US Department of Energy's Co-Optimization of Engines and Fuels (Co-Optima)
initiative is pursuing higher efficiency engines on the basis of fuel properties, and in …

This study explores the relationship between knocking and particulate matter emissions in
both single-cylinder and multi-cylinder direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engines. The …

Knock remains one of the main limitations for increased internal combustion engine
efficiency. Recent trends in light-duty vehicles towards downsized, boosted engines …

This work analyzes the inability of the Octane Index (OI) to characterize the autoignition
resistance of gasoline-like fuels in a Low-Temperature Gasoline Combustion (LTGC) …

Spark-ignition engine efficiency can be increased by co-optimizing fuel and engine. First,
computational fuel design can optimize fuel molecules or composition using predictive fuel …
