The laminar flamelet equations, which were originally derived for a two-feed system with one
fuel and one oxidizer stream, are extended for a three-feed system with two fuel and one …

In this study, three different C 8 fuels, namely n-octanol, di-n-buthylether (DnBE), and n-
octane, are investigated with regard to diesel engine combustion to assess and analyze the …

Detailed chemistry represents a fundamental pre-requisite for a realistic simulation of
combustion process in diesel engines. In this work, the authors developed a reduced …

The structure of laminar spray flames considerably differs from their gaseous counterpart.
However, most often flamelet models employed in the simulation of turbulent spray …

The paper reports an investigation on the transient evolution of diesel flames in terms of fuel–
