Collaborative investigators in the UK and in Canada have undertaken both experimental and modelling strategies on nonair diesel engine performance. The results of preliminary simulation strategies reported in this paper indicate that existing air-breathing models can be suitably modified to predict nonair brake performance indicators to within 5% of experimental results. However, nonair ignition delay and heat release models will provide even greater accuracy and the preliminary development of such models is also reported.
