- The paper presents the findings of an EPSRC-funded Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) project with Capricorn Automotive, a blue-chip company in the aerospace and motorsport industry. It investigates the use of advanced cylinder liners coated with Nickel Nanocomposite (NNC) or Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for race engines including F1. Thermal management and mitigation of frictional and pressure leakage losses are critical to racing performance. An integrated multi-physics method (tribology, ring dynamics and compressible gas flow) is reported, an approach well beyond the state-of-the-art. The findings resulted in the development of a new range of advanced liners at Capricorn Automotive.
