CFD simulations of Rapid Compression Machines using detailed chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The use of creviced pistons in Rapid Compression Machines (RCMs) has proven to be very efficient in making the temperature homogeneous inside the reaction chamber but has the disadvantage of inducing an unintended mass transfer from the reaction chamber to the crevice, especially during the preliminary heat release of two-stage ignition processes. Aiming to mitigate this mass transfer, the technique of ‘crevice containment’ (CC) has been ...
CFD simulations of Rapid Compression Machines using detailed chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In Rapid Compression Machines (RCM), several phenomena can induce inhomogeneities inside the reaction chamber. The benefits of using a creviced piston have been largely demonstrated through good agreement with the widely used adiabatic core assumption. Still, temperature inhomogeneities due to wall heat transfer cannot be avoided. These induce spatial variations in terms of chemical composition, potentially affecting the auto-ignition ...

Detailed numerical study of the peak shapes of neutral analytes injected at high solvent strength in short reversed-phase liquid chromatography columns and comparison with experimental observations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We report on a numerical investigation of the different steps in the development of the spatial concentration profiles developing along the axis of a liquid chromatography column when injecting large relative volumes (>10 to 20% of column volume) of analytes dissolved in a high solvent strength solvent band as can be encountered in the second dimension (2D) column of a two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) system.
