A 3D-CFD numerical framework for the simulation of both light- and heavy-duty Diesel injectors

In spite of the effort of the engine manufacturers to improve exhaust aftertreatment efficiency, thus reducing tailpipe pollutants, the unaffordable tightening of the laws dealing with emissions puts a strain on the use of Diesel engines for passenger cars in the next decades. However, for trucks an...
