SESSIONS
HCCI (Part 4 of 8)
This session presents studies on HCCI combustion in gasoline
engines. Effects of injection timing, negative valve overlap, EGR
and intake temperature are presented.

Inc.; Nebojsa Milovanovic, Delphi Diesel Systems; Per Tunestal,
Lund University; Hongming Xu, Univ. of Birmingham
In-Cylinder Diesel Particulate and NOx
Control (Part 3 of 4)
This session deals with understanding and reducing the in-cylinder
formation of Particulate and NOx in compression ignition engines.
Current technologies are focused on but are not limited to: low
temperature combustion, water/fuel emulsions, and EGR. Papers
include both experimental and analytical contributions.

Modeling of SI and Diesel Engines (Part 4
of 6) Engine Breathing/Gas Dynamics and Acoustics
Engine breathing, modeling of gas dynamics, intake and exhaust
systems, turbocharging.
Organizers:
Thomas Morel, Gamma Technologies Inc.; Federico Millo,
Politecnico di Torino; Christof Schernus, FEV Motorentechnik

Multi-Dimensional Engine Modeling (Part
4 of 6)
Multi-dimensional engine modeling has gradually established
itself in the engineering community as a means to gain a deeper
understanding of processes related to turbulent, transient,
chemically reacting, two-phase flows. The spectrum of papers
contained in the session reflect the truly multidisciplinary nature
of the field covering areas such as chemical kinetics, combustion
and spray modeling, turbulence, mesh generation, and approaches
targeting improved computational efficiency.
Organizers:
Hardo Barths, General Motors Corp.; A. David Gosman, Imperial
College London; Carl-Anders Hergart, Caterpillar Inc.
Transmission and Driveline: (Part 1 of 4)
Simulation and Modeling
This session presents papers regarding simulation and modeling
of integrated vehicle, transmission and driveline models to assess
the vehicle shift quality subjected to nonlinear vehicle responses.
Applications of HIL controller and test bench to a 6-speed
automatic transmission are described in detail. Methods for AMT
and manual transmission matching control as well as the simulation
of a novel torque gap filling device for AMT are discussed.

CI Engine Performance for Use with
Alternative Fuels (Part 1 of 4)
This session focuses on the effects of alternative fuels in
compression ignition engines. A wide range of alternative fuels
exist and may include hydrogen, ethanol, methane, biodiesel
and synthetic diesel fuel. Data pertaining to emissions reduction,
performance, combustion analysis, efficiency, and durability for
both experimental as well as numerical investigations is presented.

Sundar Rajan Krishnan, Robert Paul Larsen, Scott A. Miers,
Argonne National Laboratory; Gregory J. Thompson, West Virginia
Univ.
CI and SI Power Cylinder Systems (Part 1
of 2)
This session includes papers regarding the tensioners on the drive
chain system, piston ring coatings, and analysis of parameters
that affect the performance (blow-by and oil consumption) of the
engine.
Organizers:
Dwight Andrew Doig, Cummins Inc.; Mikhail A. Ejakov, Ford Motor
Co.; Dan Earl Richardson, Cummins Inc.
Combustion and Flow Diagnostics (Part 2
of 3)
This session focuses on diagnostics and data processing
techniques aimed at clarifying the flow, ignition, combustion and
emission behavior in both spark and compression ignition engines.
Examples of papers included are in-cylinder optical measurements
of temperature and composition, optical measurements of
combustion chamber surfaces using thermographic phosphors,
and the development and application of new methods for cycleresolved
analysis of NOx and soot emissions.
