Surrogate Generation and Evaluation for Diesel Fuel

The correct representation of a fuel in terms of its physical and chemical properties and its combustion kinetics poses a challenge to modern engine development when state-of-the-art simulation technology is used. In this context, a promising approach is the use of surrogates that emulate the properties of real fuels, where the surrogates are made up of a significantly lower number of components than the original fuels. The goal of this paper is...
