Modeling Unburned Hydrocarbon Formation Processes in Internal Combustion Engines

As a result of continuing air pollution problems, very stringent regulations are being enforced to control unburned hydrocarbons (HC) emissions. Most important unburned HC emissions sources are (1) HC vapor absorption and/or desorption into cylinder wall oil film; (2) flow of unburned mixture into piston-cylinder-ring crevices; and (3) fuel-air overmixing and/or under-mixing leading to unstable or incomplete combustion.
