(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Direct Fuel Injection (DI) extends engine knock limits compared to Port Fuel Injection (PFI) by utilizing the in-cylinder charge cooling effect due to fuel evaporation. The use of gasoline/ethanol blends in DI is therefore ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Internal gravity waves are propagating disturbances in a stably stratified fluid. Ubiquitous in geophysical systems, they have significant impact on both fundamental processes and engineering applications. In the ocean, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Present-day expeditionary oceanography is beginning to shift from a focus on short-term ship and submersible deployments to an ocean observatory mode where long-term temporally-focused studies are feasible. As a result, a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Transverse jets form a dominant group of flow fields arising in many applications of modern energy utilization, including propulsion and effluent dispersion. Furthermore, they form canonical examples where the flow field ...
