AIM: to conduct specialised experiments allowing development of advanced models of key in-cylinder processes, to be used for investigating in depth new combustion concepts.

Objectives:

• Application of 3-D simulation tools to marine engine combustion; extension and adaptation of existing sub-models as well as development of new models.
• Development of advanced test facilities for fundamental experimental investigation of in-cylinder phenomena.
• Validation of models against experimental data.
