Cyclically resolved flame and flow imaging in an alcohol fuelled SI engine (2018)
Journal Article
Moslemin Koupaie, M., Cairns, A., Xia, J., Vafamehr, H., & Lanzanova, T. (2019). Cyclically resolved flame and flow imaging in an alcohol fuelled SI engine. Fuel, 237, 874-887. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2018.10.075

The work was concerned with improving understanding of the interaction of the bulk in-cylinder flow with turbulent premixed flame propagation when using varied fuels including iso-octane, ethanol or butanol. The experiments were performed in a single... Read More about Cyclically resolved flame and flow imaging in an alcohol fuelled SI engine.

Study on pollutants formation under knocking combustion conditions using an optical single cylinder SI research engine (2018)
Journal Article
Karvountzis-Kontakiotis, A., Vafamehr, H., Cairns, A., & Peckham, M. (2018). Study on pollutants formation under knocking combustion conditions using an optical single cylinder SI research engine. Energy, 158, 899-910. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2018.06.063

The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the pollutants formation and cyclic emission variability under knocking combustion conditions. A great number of studies extensively describe the phenomenon of knock and its combustion characterist...

A study of transient over-fuelling during heavy knock in an optical spark ignition engine (2018)
Journal Article
Vafamehr, H., Cairns, A., & Ebne-Abbasi, H. (in press). A study of transient over-fuelling during heavy knock in an optical spark ignition engine. International Journal of Powertrains, 7(1/2/3), https://doi.org/10.1504/IJPT.2018.10011458

The work was concerned with improving understanding of the effects of transient over-fuelling during heavy knocking combustion in modern spark ignition engines. The single cylinder engine employed included full bore overhead optical access capable of... Read More about A study of transient over-fuelling during heavy knock in an optical spark ignition engine.
