Injection and sprays
Injection and sprays analysis and optimization for Clean Mobility and Sustainable Energy Solutions
Introduction
The Injection and Sprays group at CMT develops basic research studies to improve understanding of the relevant physical processes involved, applied studies to improve engine behaviour and aid engine development including Diesel common rail, GDI fuel injection systems, hybrid vehicles as well as the spray characterization of synthetic fuels and carbon neutral fuels by means of methodologies combining experimental approach on simplified test rigs and theoretical and computational approaches at different levels of complexity
Research Areas
Research strategy from fuel to combustion processes:
Fuel injections systems - Nozzle technology
- Spray initial characteristics
- Spray development in isothermal non-evaporative conditions
- Spray evaporation and mixing
- Reactive sprays characterization: Combustion analysis
- Sprays used in aftertreatments: Urea water solution
