Engine Combustion Network 3rd Workshop, ECN3
Hosted by the University of Michigan ME Department.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 4-5 April 2014, before the SAE World Congress.
Workshop Summary
Over 120 participants attended the workshop, and 40 more accessed the live presentations via webcast. Organizers gathered experimental and modeling results prior to the workshop to allow a side-by-side comparison and expert review of the current state of the art for diagnostics and engine modeling.
Proceedings from the workshop are available to download below, including video/audio recordings of the event. The proceedings include a summary abstract followed by the presentation. When movies were used in the presentation, a .zip file of a powerpoint document and movies has been made to allow delivery of all information. (See program and planning archive.)
