Knock damage in spark-ignition engines
… the damage caused by knocking combustion in spark-ignition engines. A literature review indicated that, in general, research into knock has focused on the causes and avoidance of knock, rather than on the damage resulting from knock. The few published works concerning the effects of knock …

The octane requirement of spark ignition engines
The thesis covers the fundamentals of refining and fuel technology, engine technology as regards parameters which influence knock and the results of engine tests. Definitions of octane number and the interpretation of the system developed to establish these numbers using the CFR engine are given. …

Particulate matter formation in spark-ignition engines
… of the mechanisms by which PM is formed in spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines. A study was undertaken in order to understand the effects of dilution on measured PM, to examine and model the effect of steady state engine operating conditions on engine-out PM, and to characterize …

Crevice volume effect on spark ignition engine efficiency
A set of experiments and a simulation study are completed to quantify the effect of the piston crevice on engine efficiency. The simulation study breaks down the loss mechanisms on brake efficiency at different displacement volumes (300 - 500 cc) and compression ratios (8-20). Experiments focus on …

Simulation of turbulent flames relevant to spark-ignition engines
… is used to simulate flames relevant to spark-ignition IC engines. A central quantity in the current modelling approach is the scalar dissipation rate, which represents coupling between reaction and diffusion, as well as the flame front dynamics. In the first part of this thesis, the …

A computational and experimental study of spark ignition engine combustion
This work focuses on aspects of combustion in a spark ignition engine. A pent-roof research engine was used to generate an experimental data set which was combined with a preexisting data set from a disc-chamber research engine. The combined dataset was used to refine a thermodynamic spark ignition …
