The 4th Workshop of the Engine Combustion Network (ECN) was held September 5-6, 2015
in Kyoto, Japan. This manuscript presents a summary of the progress in experiments and …

To reveal the theory behind the ignition phenomenon of large nozzle diameter spray and
better organize the combustion of two-stroke marine diesel engine, in this article, the …

Cavitating flow potentially emerging in diesel injector nozzles plays a prominent role
influencing the subsequent process of spray atomization and combustion reaction. A …

This study investigates n-dodecane split injections of “Spray A” from the Engine Combustion
Network (ECN) using two different turbulence treatments (RANS and LES) in conjunction …

Diesel engine cold-start performances are closely related to ignition delay time which in turn
is strongly influenced by the nozzle diameter (D noz). In this study, ignition delay time and …

Present work investigates the performance of the Flamelet Generated Manifold combustion
model in a marine-sized combustion chamber within the framework of RANS turbulence …

Soot onset in n-dodecane sprays is investigated both experimentally, by means of high-
speed imaging data from the Sandia spray combustion vessel, and numerically, using the …

High pressure common rail system is the state-of-the art technology for modern diesel
engines to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. The economy and …

Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of ambient density (ρ am) and
nozzle diameter (D noz) on the ignition characteristic of diesel spray combustion under …

The understanding of diesel sprays is very important to enable a better and cleaner marine
engine design, but unfortunately little knowledge is openly available on marine engine fuel …
