- The developed methodology, result of an Industry Academia Partnership and Pathways EU-funded research grant (FuelSystem3000), simulates efficiently the long-standing cavitation erosion damage issue realised in high pressure fuel injectors components. This was known to contribute to excess increase in harmful emissions as well loss of power associated with relevant CO2 increase and mitigated in the past via replacement of injectors, with associated huge maintenance costs. The new model, validated against x-ray measurements of injectors exposed to durability tests, has assisted the industry partner, Caterpillar/Perkins Engines, to design, manufacture and equip their heavy-duty engines with new erosion-free injector designs.
