Combustor design simulation requires the resolution of complex geometry, turbulent flow patterns, heat transfer, and detailed chemistry. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can simulate the ...

Ferrari has signaled a willingness to challenge one of the most fundamental assumptions in engine design by filing a European patent for oval-shaped pistons, a move that could reshape how future ...

A vital piece of gas engines, combustors -- the chambers in which the combustion powering the engine occurs -- have the problem of breaking down due to fatal high-frequency oscillations during the ...
