• Developed numerical model of carburetors for small utility engines, incorporating:
• dynamic effects, two-phase flow, compressible flow and losses across metering orifices.
• Implemented carburetor model in one-dimensional engine simulation software to study
• the effect of carburetor elements on power and emissions.
•
Studied single-phase flow through complex geometries inside carburetors with numerical
• simulations in a commercial CFD package.
• Designed and built experimental setups to characterize single-phase and two-phase flow
• in carburetor parts, as well as to validate numerical simulations.
• Supervised three undergraduate research assistants.
Short Projects Funded By Industry
