CFD of fuel injection under Diesel like conditions

MS Student
2016-Present

 

Christopher is interested in the modeling fuel injection into en engine under diesel like conditions. The goal of this work is to try to understand techniques that could improve the fuel air mixing to create locally leaner equivalence ratios. The challenge of this simulation is the flow is supper critical and highly turbulent. Christopher is using openFOAM to work on this problem.
