Modelling Diesel Combustion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789811667442)

With his teams, he has developed more than eight diesel and CNG engine platforms and 150 engine types commercially successful for efficiency and cost effectiveness. Two engine designs received prizes from the Institute of Directors (India). Twelve ideas were patented during the development of engines over 40 years. He has authored 54 research papers in journals and conferences of international repute. Four of them received the prizes for integrity and quality of contents from the SAE (Arch Colwell Award), Combustion Society (India), AVL (Graz) and AVL (India) in 1983, 1993, 2005 and 2011, respectively. He has coauthored two books titled "Modeling Diesel Combustion" (Springer 2010) and "Critical Component Wear of Parts in heavy Duty Engines" (John Wiley 2011). He has coedited a handbook "Design and Development of Heavy Duty Diesel Engines" (Springer, 2020). Now, he is editing his fourth book "Thermal Management of Engines for Performance and Emissions" which is due in 2021. He is elected to the fellowships of SAE (2009), INAE (2013) and ISEES (2018).

He has published more than 50 research papers in ASME, SAE, and IMechE journals. He is associated with the boards of studies of VIT and MITADT, Pune. He advises the Universities and takes part in faculty development. He is a member of the SAE India.

Prof. Rolf Reitz's research interests include internal combustion engines and sprays. He is former director of the Engine Research Center and is Emeritus Wisconsin Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining UW-Madison he spent six years at the GM Research Laboratories, three years as a research staff member at PrincetonUniversity, and two years as a research scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 1978. Professor Reitz is a Fellow member of SAE and ASME and he serves as a consultant to many industries through his consulting company, Wisconsin Engine Research Consultants. He is Editor (Americas) and co-founder of the International Journal of Engine Research and is past-Chairman of the Institute of Liquid Atomization and Spraying Systems - North and South America. He and his group have won major research awards, and he has co-authored over 550 technical papers on engine research.

Yu Shi received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Engine Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he specialized in computational optimization of internal combustion engines. After finishing his Ph.D. in 2009, he worked as a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he contributed to the field of accelerated reactive flow computations using heterogeneous computational architectures. He is currently Senior Data Scientist with the Phillips 66 Company based in Houston, Texas, where he applies advanced machine learning to business analytics.

Dr. Haiwen Ge received B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Engineering Thermophysics from University of Science and Technology of China in 1999 and 2002, respectively. In 2006, he received Doctor of Science in Physical Chemistry from University of Heidelberg, Germany. He joined the Engine Research Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison as a postdoctoral fellow in 2006. Since 2010, he worked for the Ford Motor Company as a resident engineer. In 2013, he joined the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), where he was the Senior Technical Specialist in Combustion Development and Technical Lead in 3D Combustion CFD. In 2016-2017, he was a Senior Combustion CFD Engineer of John Deere. In 2017, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas Tech University as an instructor. He has published one monograph, two book chapters, 68 peer-reviewed publications, and 67 conference papers.
