- Development and implementation of the PC-SAFT real-fluid equations of state, predicting the strong variation of the physical and transport properties of Diesel fuel surrogates at such pressures allowed for the first time, simulations of cavitation at extreme pressure drops up to 4500bar. The study, was accomplished jointly with BP using their supercomputing facilities as part of the EU-funded project IPPAD. The methodology is currently extended in a follow-up EU-funded grant (EDEM) involving major engine and fuel injection system manufacturers and looking into thermo-fluid dynamic processes of dual-fuel engines, promising to offer up to 20% reduction in CO2 emissions.
