Jet squish motion in a homogeneous-charge spark-ignition engine fueled by natural gas

Squish is one of the fundamental types of in-cylinder charge motion, and has been shown to be important in the generation of turbulence during the compression stroke. Turbulence intensity positively affects the mixture burning speed, which is important with inherently slow combustion systems, such a...
