11. Automatic Analysis and Reduction of Reaction Mechanisms for Complex Fuel Combustion
Abstract : This work concentrates on automatic procedures for simplifying chemical models for realistic fuels using skeletal mechanism construction and Quasi Steady-State Approximation (QSSA) applied to detailed reaction mechanisms. To automate the selection of species for removal or approximation, different indices for species ranking have thus been proposed. READ MORE

12. RANS Simulations of Interaction between Premixed Flame and Turbulence using OpenFOAM Library
Abstract : Unsteady multi-dimensional numerical simulation of turbulent flames is a widely recognized tool for research and development of future internal combustion engines capable of satisfying stringent requirements for ultra-low emission and highly efficient energy conversion. To attain success, such simulations need, in particular, elaborated CFD software and predictive models of turbulent burning. READ MORE

13. Modeling of Flame Propagation in Spark Ignition Engines
Abstract : Developers and manufacturers of gasoline engines are struggling to improve fuel economy and minimize negative environmental effects. Hence, lean burn and direct injection (DI), in particular stratified charge (SC), spark ignition (SI) engines are of special interest. READ MORE

14. Identification of principal chemical subsets of biofuel combustion : Ants walking in renewable fire
Abstract : The work in this thesis was carried out to highlight important chemical pathways in skeletal mechanisms for the three smallest alcohol fuels (methanol, ethanol and npropanol), two representative fuel alkanes n-heptane and n-decane, and finally the biodiesel surrogates, methyl-decanoate, methyl-5-decenoate, and methyl-9-decenoate. This aim was set up to further the efforts of creating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) suitable mechanisms, which in turn can be used by the industry to improve, for example, engines or gas turbines, or by academia to further understand turbulent combustion.

15. Laser-Based Investigations of Combustion Phenomena in Gas Turbine Related Burners
Abstract : Experiments were performed on various combustion devices to investigate the flames employing different optical measurement techniques under atmospheric pressure conditions. Non-intrusive laser-based techniques provided in-situ information concerning different parameters of the combustion process, with a high degree of temporal and spatial resolution. READ MORE
