Potential of Water Injection for Gasoline Engines by Means of a 3D-CFD Virtual Test Bench is written by Antonino Vacca and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3658327553 (ISBN 10) and 9783658327552 (ISBN 13).

Water injection is one of the most promising technologies to improve the engine combustion efficiency, by mitigating knock occurrences and controlling exhaust gas temperature before turbine. As result, the engine can operate at stoichiometric conditions over the whole engine map, even during the more power-demanding RDE cycles. Antonino Vacca presents a methodology to study and optimize the effect of water injection for gasoline engines by investigating different engine layouts and injection strategies through the set-up of a 3D-CFD virtual test bench. He investigates indirect and direct water injection strategies to increase the engine knock limit and to reduce exhaust gas temperature for several operating points.
