Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) CFD study 1 Effect of SOI on in-cylinder conditions CFD study 2 Effect of injection pressure on NOx emissions CFD future study
CFD study 1 - Methanol in-cylinder conditions SOI sweep -17 ATDC to -1 ATDC Scope: Defining local conditions for mixing process and combustion process. Model validation based on metal engine experiments. Outcome: Colling effect (long ignition delay) due to the high heat of vaporization. Easy to mix for lean condition due to the low stoichiometric mass ratio 6.47 (gasoline 14.6). HCCI like combustion. High MPRR with single injection. SAE Technical Paper 2017-01-0560 Detroit 2017
CFD study 1 - Methanol in-cylinder conditions SOI -17.5 ATDC SAE Technical Paper 2017-01-0560
CFD study 1 - Methanol in-cylinder conditions SOI -7 ATDC SAE Technical Paper 2017-01-0560
CFD study 2 Effect of injection pressure on NOx emissions Injection pressure study 800 bar and 1600 bar high CR27 injection close to TDC Scope: Experiments showed that NOx levels increases with higher injections pressure. CFD was performed to gain more understanding behind this trend. Outcome: CFD replicated longer ignition delay caused by higher injection pressure. At the onset of auto-ignition the spray plume size is larger thus more mass is burning at close to stoichiometry conditions. As a consequence rate of NOx formation becomes higher producing more total NOx under a shorter time. SAE Technical Paper 2017-01-2194 - Beijing 2017
