High-speed chemical species tomography in a multi-cylinder automotive engine
The first demonstration of in-cylinder chemical species tomography in a multi-cylinder engine, and operating at 3,000 frames per second, this paper (published online in 2008) initiated a new phase of R&D on chemical dynamics in engines. It led to two doctoral projects focused on fuel imaging and funded by Shell (Nigel Tait) and Innospec Inc. (Ian.McRobbie). It inspired the development of the £1.2M EPSRC 2-ACE project (EP/F05825X/1) on Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, with Brunel, Brighton, Leeds and Stanford Universities, plus Innospec Inc. and Ricardo plc. Profs Andersson (Lund) Oivind.Andersson@energy.lth.se and Agarwal (IIT Kanpur) akag@iitk.ac.in visited (2012) to initiate further exploitation.
