Industry partners will provide 20% to 50% cost-share, including the technical know-how and manufacturing data needed to tackle the project goals. The manner in which the combusting fuel jet and in-cylinder air interact with the piston has a significant impact on combustion and emissions characteristics, as well as heat transfer to the piston.
