Preface

Striking progress has been made in internal combustion engine design due to the development of computer models and optimization techniques. In this book we strive to document the state of the art in predictive IC engine modeling and optimization. The fact that this is an important topic for research and development is emphasized by society’s reliance on IC engines for transportation, commerce and power generation. Indeed, the world as we know it would be a quite different place were it not for the remarkable internal combustion engine! It drives all manner of utility devic
