Internal combustion engines (ICEG)

The Internal Combustion Engines (ICEG) group focuses on research into next-generation thermal engines capable of achieving high efficiency and extremely low emissions, using renewable fuels such as hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels.
Research activities include the study of combustion and gas exchange processes, turbocharging, post-treatment systems, silencers and the design of engines with near-zero emissions.

The group develops and validates advanced thermofluid dynamic models for 3D CFD simulations (LibICE/OpenFOAM code) and 0D/1D simulations (Gasdyn code) to improve engine performance and efficiency.
Furthermore, 3D CFD simulation has been extended to the study of other fluid machines, including compressors and volumetric expanders, as well as heat exchangers, fuel cells and electrolysers.
