The adaptive preconditioners developed in this paper substantially reduce the computational cost of integrating large kinetic mechanisms using implicit ordinary differential equation (ODE) solvers. For a well-stirred reactor, the speedup of the new m

The Laser Inertial Fusion Energy (LIFE) concept is being designed to operate as either a pure fusion or hybrid fusion-fission system. The present work focuses on the pure fusion option. A key component of a LIFE engine is the fusion chamber subsystem

A methodology for modeling gaseous injection has been refined and applied to recent experimental data from the literature. This approach uses a discrete phase analogy to handle gaseous injection, allowing for addition of gaseous injection to a CFD gr

Basic engine thermodynamics predicts that spark ignited engine efficiency is a function of both the compression ratio of the engine and the specific heat ratio of the working fluid. In practice the compression ratio of the engine is often limited due

Homogenous-charge-compression-ignition (HCCI) engines have the benefit of high efficiency with low emissions of NOx and particulates. These benefits are due to the autoignition process of the dilute mixture of fuel and air during compression. However
