Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and systems for supplying fuel to a diesel engine during a cycle of a cylinder are described. In one example, a cylinder is supplied fuel via two fuel injectors having different fuel flow rates. The two fuel injectors may be arranged opposed to each other or in a way that fuel spray from one injector intersects and collides with fuel spray from the other injector.
