Dr Xinwei Cheng is experienced in the development of reduced chemical kinetics of diesel and alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol and iso-pentanol for high fidelity and efficient CFD modelling applications. She then integrates the reduced mechanisms into commercial CFD software to elucidate vital processes in different internal combustion setups. Currently, Dr Cheng is working in various research projects regarding combustion of natural gases (methane, propane), hydrogen fuel as well as jet A1 fuel. She welcomes PhD students.
