The changes to the fundamental chapters on unsteady gas flow, scavenging, combustion<br />

<strong>and</strong> emissions, <strong>and</strong> noise are very extensive. The new material is synthesized to illustrate<br />

engine design by simulation through modeling. These enhanced modeling methods are the<br />

product <strong>of</strong> the last five years <strong>of</strong> activity. They have been the busiest, <strong>and</strong> perhaps the most<br />

satisfying, years I have known in my career. I find it very hard to come to terms with the<br />

irrefutable, namely that I have made more progress in the thermo-fluids design area for reciprocating<br />

engines in general, <strong>and</strong> two-stroke engines in particular, than in the previous twentyfive<br />

years put together!<br />

I hope that you will agree.<br />
