Thesis title
Numerical simulation of advanced hydrogen engines
Research overview
This project focuses on high-fidelity numerical simulations of a next-generation hydrogen engine currently under development at KU Leuven. Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, we aim to simulate the engine operation under various conditions to understand how key parameters such as injection strategy and wall heat loss affect performance metrics including efficiency, emissions, and power output. The insights gained will help identify pathways to optimise engine design and operation, contributing to the development of cleaner and more efficient hydrogen engines.
