Cyclic variations in conventional diesel combustion engines can lead to large differences in
engine out emissions even at steady operation. This study uses an optically accessible …

ABSTRACT A number of distinctions between conventional schlieren and rainbow schlieren
give rise to the qualitative versus quantitative nature of each technique. The present paper …

Transient, near-field mixing of a supercritical fluid injected into supercritical and subcritical
environments is investigated experimentally. Fuel (propane) from a 100 μm diameter Bosch …

The physical and chemical phenomena that take place during fuel injection, entrainment
and fuel-air mixing, cool-flame and ignition reaction, and combustion in diesel sprays still …

Three models to compute the refractive index of gaseous mixtures at real gas conditions are
presented with the purpose to improve the accuracy of state relationships between refractive …

Rotating detonation engine (RDE) employs a novel combustion method to harnesses the
power of detonation, allowing for an increase in thermal efficiency compared to the typical …

Previous studies of diesel spray flames have focused on details of the sooting behavior
mainly during the quasi-steady period, but few have considered the spatially-resolved …

Previous mechanistic descriptions of electrosprays mostly focused on the dynamics of Taylor
cones, initial droplets, and progeny droplets. However, vapor formation during droplet …

The rainbow schlieren deflectometry (RSD) technique is used to simultaneously identify the
liquid and vapor boundaries during transient evolution of evaporating high-pressure fuel …

Rainbow schlieren deflectometry (RSD) is applied to acquire quantitative concentration
measurements in a turbulent environment for the first time. RSD methodology is developed …
