Abstract

Controlled auto-ignition in petrol engines is a promising concept for the reduction of exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Experimental and numerical investigations have been carried out at the Institute for Reciprocating Engines (IFKM) and the Institute of Technical Thermodynamics (ITT) to investigate the implementation of this combustion process in passenger car engines.
