Improvements were made in the combustion chamber geometry of the combustion model. Studies conducted with different spatial intervals in the combustion model have indicated problems with mass conservation depending on spatial step size. Work was initiated on a gas dynamic model for the prechamber intake system. Development of high speed motion picture techniques is continuing, and a new fuel system for the main chamber intake port is being developed.
