Clarifying the fundamentals of spray, combustion and emissions formation processes of conventional and alternative fuels using optical/laser diagnostics.
In-cylinder visualisation of flows and reacting gases in an optically-accessible engine.
Applying advanced diagnostic techniques: Schlieren/Shadowgraph, Mie-Scattering, Laser-Induced Incandescence, Laser Extinction, Laser-Induced Fluorescence, Laser Doppler Velocimetry, and Particle Image Velocimetry.
Engine performance test and emissions measurement for applications of the advanced combustion regimes (Low-Temperature-Combustion Diesel, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition).
Co-work with modelers for the physical interpretation of measured data.
International partners with publication histories include: Sandia National Laboratories (Dr Pickett and Dr Miles), KAIST (Prof Bae), University of Wisconsin-Madison (Prof Reitz), University of Michigan (Prof Assanis), and University of Cambridge (Prof Kraft)
