Call for papers: "Engine Combustion Optimisation and Control"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Powertrains.

Engine combustion optimisation and control plays an important role in vehicle fuel economy and emissions. Substantial progress has been made in understanding the combustion process, combustion modelling for real-time simulations and model-based combustion control and optimisation.
 
However, as new engine sensing and actuating systems become available, engine combustion optimisation becomes a multi-degree of freedoms control problem, which requires the application of advanced control schemes such as model-based control, adaptive control, model-reference control, etc.
 
The primary objective of this special issue is therefore to compile state of the art research and development efforts in engine combustion modelling and hardware-in-the-loop simulation, combustion optimisation and mode transition, combustion optimisation, closed loop combustion control and so on.
 
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
  • Engine combustion optimisation
  • Closed loop and model-based combustion control
  • Combustion mode transition
  • Engine combustion modelling for model-based control
  • Hardware-in-the-loop simulations
  • Advanced combustion control techniques
