Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work is based on the need for understanding the in-cylinder flow and its subsequent effects on combustion in a valved-two-stroke spark ignition engine with fuel injection using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and experimental techniques. In this context, the CFD code KIVA-II has been modified to model the two-stroke engine gas exchange and combustion processes. A 3-D Cartesian grid generation program for complex engine geometry has been added to the KIVA code which has been modified to include intake and exhaust flow processes with valves. New and improved sub models for wall jet interaction, mixing controlled combustion and one dimensional wave action have also been incorporated. The modified version of the program has been used to simulate a fuel injected two-stroke spark ignition engine and parametric studies have been undertaken. The simulated flow, combustion and exhaust emission characteristics over a wide range of operating conditions show the expected trends in behaviour observed in actual engines. In the second phase of this study, the air-assisted-fuel-injection (AAFI) process into a cylinder has been simulated with a high resolution computational grid. The simulation results are presented and compared with experimental data obtained using the Schlieren optical technique. An approximate method based on the conservation of mass, momentum and energy of the spray jet and using a comparatively coarse grid has been suggested for simulating the AAFI process. The simulation study predicts a high degree of atomisation of fuel spray with Sauter mean diameter around 10 μm even with moderate air and fuel pressures. The penetration and width of spray are simulated within 15% of the experimental values. In the last phase of this study, the flow and combustion processes have been studied for a four-stroke spark ignition engine with the AAFI process. The simulation results obtained using this approximate method have been validated with experimental data ge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the theoretical foundations of disperse two-phase flows, which are characterized by the existence of bubbles, droplets or solid particles finely dispersed in a carrier fluid, which can be a liquid or a gas. Chapters clarify many difficult subjects, including modeling of the interfacial area concentration. Basic knowledge of the subjects treated in this book is essential to practitioners of Computational Fluid Dynamics for two-phase flows in a variety of industrial and environmental settings. The author provides a complete derivation of the basic equations, followed by more advanced subjects like turbulence equations for the two phases (continuous and disperse) and multi-size particulate flow modeling. As well as theoretical material, readers will discover chapters concerned with closure relations and numerical issues. Many physical models are presented, covering key subjects including heat and mass transfers between phases, interfacial forces and fluid particles coalescence and breakup, amongst others. This book is highly suitable for students in the subject area, but may also be a useful reference text for more advanced scientists and engineers.

This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the simulations developed in research groups over the past years, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines provides a compilation of the main ingredients necessary to build up a quasi-dimensional computer simulation scheme. Quasi-dimensional computer simulation of spark ignition engines is a powerful but affordable tool which obtains realistic estimations of a wide variety of variables for a simulated engine keeping insight the basic physical and chemical processes involved in the real evolution of an automotive engine. With low computational costs, it can optimize the design and operation of spark ignition engines as well as it allows to analyze cycle-to-cycle fluctuations. Including details about the structure of a complete simulation scheme, information about what kind of information can be obtained, and comparisons of the simulation results with experiments, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines offers a thorough guide of this technique. Advanced undergraduates and postgraduates as well as researchers in government and industry in all areas related to applied physics and mechanical and automotive engineering can apply these tools to simulate cyclic variability, potentially leading to new design and control alternatives for lowering emissions and expanding the actual operation limits of spark ignition engines

This book was released on 2015 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycle-to-cycle variations (CCVs) in engines limit the ability of engine designers to reach the theoretical limits of engine efficiency. This study investigates CCVs in Direct-injection Spark-ignition (DISI) engines through Large-eddy Simulations (LES). Multi-cycle simulations of motored engine flow and spray simulations with variable boundary conditions were performed. The Dynamic Structure turbulence model, which is an advanced 1-equation non-viscosity turbulence model, was used to enable coarser, engineering type meshes and reasonable computational requirements. Multi-cycle motored engine simulations were run for an optical engine at several different engine operating conditions. Comparisons included both pressure and velocity measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Simulations were run using computational domains that either did or did not include intake and exhaust mixing plenums. Results from runners-only and full-domain simulations were overall similar, but there were differences in specific flow structures at certain times. Changes to engine speed or manifold pressure increased flow magnitudes, even after adjusting for different mean piston speeds, but had relatively minor effects on the flow structure. A spray model adapted from diesel spray simulations is presented. The adapted models were unable to match experimental trends with changing ambient density in both liquid and vapor phases simultaneously. Two spray break-up model parameters were changed to vary as functions of ambient density, which greatly improved the vapor predictions but worsened liquid predictions. Two methods from Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) were used to test the response of the spray models to prescribed uncertainty in spray boundary conditions. The effects of having uncertainty in two numerical model parameters and two physical boundary conditions was examined. Overall simulation uncertainty was much larger than the experimental uncertainty. Further tests showed the uncertainty in the simulation response variables was due primarily to uncertainty in the numerical modeling parameters. When examining the effects of uncertainty in the physical boundary conditions alone, the resulting variability in the response variables was approximately equal to the variability in the spray measurements.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling the liquid-gas phase flow inside the horizontal and inclined pipe using CFD analysis is difficult due to continuously changing flow patterns. The main objectives of this research are to investigate the flow pattern of liquid-gas phase inside the horizontal and inclined pipe. Two-phase flows specifically on the liquidgas flow have a complex flow pattern that can be observed by develop the 3- Dimensional model using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software that consist of Gambit for develop the model of horizontal and inclined pipe and then transfer the data to Fluent for further analysis. The simulation was conducted by modelling the horizontal and inclined plane with the length of 7 m and 0.08 m of inner diameter. This simulation was carried out under adiabatic condition and operating at normal temperature which was 298 K. The gravity was enabled in order to differentiate the phase flow inside the horizontal and incline pipe due to the density of liquid-gas phases. The simulation was run using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) for the solver. The manipulated variables which were velocity of the liquid and gas are been changed in order to predict the various flow pattern for both horizontal and inclined pipe. The results of flow pattern are been analyzed and compared with the previous researchers' results. This can be concluded that all flow patterns appearing in the Baker chart can be simulated using existing CFD. In order to improve the effectiveness of the model developed, the simulation needed to be run until the iteration is converging.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycle-to-cycle variations (CCV) of flow and combustion in internal combustion engines (ICE) limit their fuel efficiency and emissions potential. Large-eddy simulation (LES) is the most practical simulation tool to understand the nature of these CCV. In this research, multi-cycle LES of a two-valve, four-stroke, spark-ignition optical engine has been performed for motored and fired operations. The LES mesh quality is assessed using a length scale resolution parameter and a energy resolution parameter. For the motored operation, two 50-consecutive-cycle LES with different turbulence models (Smagorinsky model and dynamic structure model) are compared with the experiment. The pressure comparison shows that the LES is able to capture the wave-dynamics in the intake and exhaust ports. The LES velocity fields are compared with particle-image velocimetry (PIV) measurements at three cutting planes. Based on the structure and magnitude indices, the dynamic structure model is somewhat better than the Smagorinsky model as far asthe ensemble-averaged velocity fields are concerned. The CCV in the velocity fields is assessed by proper-orthogonal decomposition (POD). The POD analysis shows that LES is able to capture the level of CCV seen in the experiment. For the fired operation, two 60-cycle LES with different combustion models (thickened flame model and coherent flame model) are compared with experiment. The in-cylinderpressure and the apparent heat release rate comparison shows higher CCV for LES compared to the experiment, with the thickened flame model showing higher CCV than the coherent flame model. The correlation analysis for the LES using thickened flame model shows that the CCV in combustion/pressure is correlated with: the tumble at the intake valve closing, the resolved and subfilter-scale kinetic energy just before spark time, and the second POD mode (shear flow near spark gap) of the velocity fields just before spark time.

This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downsizing of modern gasoline engines with direct injection is a key concept for achieving future CO22 emission targets. However, high power densities and optimum efficiency are limited by an uncontrolled autoignition of the unburned air-fuel mixture, the so-called spark knock phenomena. By a combination of three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (3D-CFD) and experiments incorporating optical diagnostics, this work presents an integral approach for predicting combustion and autoignition in Spark Ignition (SI) engines. The turbulent premixed combustion and flame front propagation in 3D-CFD is modeled with the G-equation combustion model, i.e. a laminar flamelet approach, in combination with the level set method. Autoignition in the unburned gas zone is modeled with the Shell model based on reduced chemical reactions using optimized reaction rate coefficients for different octane numbers (ON) as well as engine relevant pressures, temperatures and EGR rates. The basic functionality and sensitivities of improved sub-models, e.g. laminar flame speed, are proven in simplified test cases followed by adequate engine test cases. It is shown that the G-equation combustion model performs well even on unstructured grids with polyhedral cells and coarse grid resolution. The validation of the knock model with respect to temporal and spatial knock onset is done with fiber optical spark plug measurements and statistical evaluation of individual knocking cycles with a frequency based pressure analysis. The results show a good correlation with the Shell autoignition relevant species in the simulation. The combined model approach with G-equation and Shell autoignition in an active formulation enables a realistic representation of thin flame fronts and hence the thermodynamic conditions prior to knocking by taking into account the ignition chemistry in unburned gas, temperature fluctuations and self-acceleration effects due to pre-reactions. By the modeling approach and simulation methodology presented in this work the overall predictive capability for the virtual development of future knockproof SI engines is improved.
