The Internal Combustion Engine Group (ICEG) was established in 2003 in order to coordinate and strengthen the research and teaching in combustion engines at The Technical University of Denmark.
Fundamental principles in combustion engines are investigated experimentally and computationally. Detailed computational modeling of processes inside combustion engines involves modeling of thermodynamics, combustion and emission formation, fluid flow, heat transfer and the interactions of the phenomena.
The future energy supply for transportation, which to a large extend include combustion engines, will have to be based on other fuels than conventional crude oil based fuels. Therefore, application of alternative fuels is a major factor in our research and teaching program. Fuel economy and emissions from these fuels are essential areas in our practical as well as theoretical studies.
