To achieve highly efficient internal combustion engines, it is essential that the fuel and air mixtures in cylinder burn rapidly without making undesired 'knocking' phenomena. Fuel reactions should be fast enough for attaining sufficiently fast exothermic combustion for power output but simultaneously, it should be durable to the undesired knocking, he notes. It is essential to clarify both ignition-related fuel reactivity and combustion processes that are governed by flame dynamics under intense turbulence. Obtained knowledge should be used for designing combustion phenomena. Dr Karou Maruta from the Institute of Fluid Science at Tohoku University is an expert in flame dynamics. Maruta and his team have been conducting a wide range of practical and theoretical experiments of weak flames in MFR ultimately for practical engine applications. They are looking to address the modelling capabilities of complex chemical reactions. In order to achieve this, the team is attempting to develop high fidelity chemical reaction kinetics, as well as intelligent computational methods.
