The visitors received briefings on engine combustion, biofuels, hydrogen research, and Basic Energy Sciences (BES) research areas. They visited several labs, including small-bore diesel/light-duty diesel, spray combustion, homogeneous charge-compression ignition (HCCI), and others, as well as the Combustion Research Computation and Visualization (CRCV) building.
