Pinnacle Engines Develops Efficient, Low-Emission Gasoline Engine Using Supercomputing

https://vimeo.com/304393904The Pinnacle Engines opposed-piston cylinder shown in three different views. Visualizations illustrate the generation of coherent flow structures and their collapse during the compression stroke, which leads to high levels of turbulence before combustion. Pinnacle Engines researchers analyzed fluid dynamics and combustion behavior to optimize the design of the combustion…
