Large-eddy simulation of diesel pilot spray ignition in lean methane-air and methanol-air mixtures at different ambient temperatures

Investigates diesel/methanol and diesel/methane dual-fuel ignition using LES. Key findings include ignition delays, differences between low- and high-temperature chemistry, and sensitivity to ambient temperature, providing guidance for dual-fuel engine operation.
