Combustion of fat and vegetable oil derived fuels in diesel engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of fat and oil derived diesel fuels with respect to fuel properties, engine performance, and emissions is reviewed, and it is concluded that the price of the feedstock fat or oil is the major factor determining biodiesel price.

Turbulence Modeling of Internal Combustion Engines Using RNG κ-ε Models
Z. Han,Rolf D. Reitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the RNG κ-e turbulence model derived by Yakhot and Orszag (1986) based on the Renormalization Group theory has been modified and applied to variable-density engine flows in the present study.

A Conceptual Model of DI Diesel Combustion Based on Laser-Sheet Imaging*
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological description of how direct-injection (DI) diesel combustion occurs has been derived from laser-sheet imaging and other recent optical data, which is summarized in a series of idealized schematics that depict the combustion process for a typical, modern-diesel-engine condition.

Progress and recent trends in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines
TL;DR: In this paper, five types of models applied to HCCI engine modelling are discussed in the present paper, and specific strategies for diesel-fuelled, gasoline-fined, and other alternative fuelled combustion are also discussed.
