AbstractUnderstanding and controlling mixing and combustion processes is fundamental for the ever more demanding pollutant regulations and fuel consumption standards of direct injection diesel engines. The fundamentals of these processes haven been long studied from both experimental and numerical perspectives. As numerical models become more advanced, the need for adequate experimental data increases. Hence, experimental methodologies and scientific databases need to be enhanced with more quantitative, accurate, consistent, and reliable information in order to evaluate the models in a robust fashion. The present study seeks to enhance the current state-of-the-art by further evaluating the combustion performance of a two-
