Thermo-Fluid Dynamic Modelling of Next-Generation Internal Combustion Engines Fuelled by Low-Carbon Fuels - 2026_IPD_DENG_7

The activity aims at the development, validation and application of predictive thermo-fluid dynamic models for the simulation of next-generation internal combustion engines running on low-carbon fuels (hydrogen, methane, methanol, ammonia and their blends).The research follows two lines. The first addresses dual-fuel architectures, through multi-zone combustion models describing high-reactivity pilot auto-ignition, flame front propagation through the premixed charge and abnormal combustion phenomena, with focus on the chemical kinetics of alternative fuels and on pollutant formation. The second focuses on Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI) pre-chamber systems, investigated as an enabler for extending the charge dilution limit,
