Engine combustion optimisation and control plays an important role in vehicle fuel economy and emissions. Substantial progress has been made in understanding the combustion process, combustion modelling for real-time simulations and model-based combustion control and optimisation.

However, as new engine sensing and actuating systems become available, engine combustion optimisation becomes a multi-degree of freedoms control problem, which requires the application of advanced control schemes such as model-based control, adaptive control, model-reference control, etc.

The primary objective of this special issue is therefore to compile state of the art research and development efforts in engine combustion modelling and hardware-in-the-loop simulation, combustion optimisation and mode transition, combustion optimisation, closed loop combustion control and so on.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

• Engine combustion optimisation
• Closed loop and model-based combustion control
• Combustion mode transition
• Engine combustion modelling for model-based control
• Hardware-in-the-loop simulations
• Advanced combustion control techniques
