Experimental and numerical study of a bio-methane heavy-duty engine equipped with a pre-chamber ignition system: a focus on flame kernel development and combustion process under lean conditions

In this work, in-depth experimental and numerical analyses are carried out on a single-cylinder bio-methane heavy-duty spark ignition engine, mounting a passive pre-chamber, to investigate the flame kernel formation, the combustion process and the overall performance. In the firs...
