CFD simulation of bubbly diesel-cng flow in a horizantal pipe under the influence of a magnetic field

The pre-mixing Diesel-CNG was suggested to increase the air quantity inside the cylinder more than if a mixture of CNG-air is injected in the engine which may result is a rich mixture, directly. The objective of the present paper is to study the behaviour of gas bubbles in the liquid fuels and the w...
