Numerical Modeling of Diesel Spray Formation and Combustion C ...

fuel shows promising results concerning spray formation,
and subsequently auto-ignition and the settling of a lift-off
length.
Outlook - Future Research
In the future, direct validation with ignition delay
times and flame lift-off lengths will be done. And at the
same time the influence of the preprocessing phase on the
combustion behavior will be investigated. One can think
about the choice of a progress variable and the applied
FGM generation method.
