In this free webinar, IAV’s Michael Rieß provides an insight into the development activities of combustion engines powered by methanol.

Rieß introduces the methodology of dedicated engine development for alternative fuels and explains relevant characteristics of methanol fuel and the phenomenological SI combustion modelling for methanol. He also gives examples of how this model can be used and integrated into OEMs’ engine development including development examples.

Key topics and takeaways:

• Understand combustion modelling solutions for complex fuel issues
• Gain insight into the 1D simulation approach and methodology
• Understand the efficiency gains achieved with methanol fuel
• Find out how to validate combustion models based on single-cylinder measurements
• Learn about development examples and applications for methanol combustion
