Topics considered for the abstracts submission

LES applications to ICE

• LES for predicting & understanding non-cyclic engine phenomena: cyclic combustion variability, fast transients, extreme cycles, rare events, etc.
• Predicting and characterising abnormal combustion (knock, superknock) with LES
• Detailed LES studies of interactions between intake aerodynamics, fuel injection and combustion
• LES of in-nozzle injector flows and its link to fuel sprays
• High-fidelity LES of mixture preparation and combustion phenomena

Experiments for LES

• Combined usage of advanced diagnostics and LES for yielding a better understand and mastering of  ICE flows
• Methods allowing to extract meaningful information from large experimental and LES databases
• Experimental techniques with a potential for supporting the development of LES
• Experimental databases for validating LES (simplified geometries and engines)

LES methodology

• Numerical methods adapted for LES
• Quality criteria for LES of ICE flows
• Mesh convergence studies of LES for ICE
• Comparing & validating LES with experimental evidence
• UQ adapted for LES of ICE

LES models for ICE flows

• Sub-grid scale turbulence
• Accounting for turbulent wall boundary layers
• Fuel injection & fuel spray modelling
• Turbulence-chemistry interaction
• Accounting for detailed chemistry in LES
