Optimization of combustion processes in automotive engines is a key factor inreducing fuel consumption in conventional and advanced gasoline and diesel engines. This volume investigates and describes flow and combustion processes indiesel and gasoline engines. It consists of eight chapters written by world experts from industry, government laboratories and academia. Each of the chapters is self-contained and, therefore, independent from the other in that it covers its central theme in depth, although prior knowledge of the fundamentals remains a prerequisite. The book bridges a serious gap between conventional textbooks and the significant technological breakthroughs presented in worldwide conferences during the last ten years on direct-injection gasoline engines, advanced diesels and homogeneous-charge compression-ignition engines. Concise overview of flow and combustion processes in automotive engines Authors are eminent researchers from academia and industry INDICE: Spark Ignition and Combustion in Four-Stroke Gasoline Engines.- Flow, Mixture Preparation and Combustion in Two-Stroke Direct-Injection GasolineEngines.- Flow, Mixture Preparation and Combustion in Four-Stroke Direct-Injection Gasoline Engines.- Turbulent Flow Structure in Direct-Injection, Swirl-Supported Diesel Engines.- Recent Developments on Diesel Fuel Jets Under Quiescent Conditions.- Conventional Diesel Combustion.- Advanced Diesel Combustion.-Fuel Effects on Engine Combustion and Emissions.
