In the present paper, the combustion process and emission formation in the Lister 8.1 in-direct injection diesel engine have been investigated using a computational fluid dynamics code. The utilized model includes detailed spray atomization, mixture formation and distribution model which enable modeling the combustion process in spray/wall and spray/swirl interactions along with flow configurations. The analysis considers both part load and full load states. The global properties are presented separately resolved for the swirl chamber (pre-chamber) and the main chamber. The results of model verify the fact that the equal amount of the fuel is burned in the main and pre-chamber at full load state while at part load the majority of the fuel is burned in the main chamber. Also, it is shown that the adherence of fuel spray on the pre-chamber walls is due to formation of a stagnation zone which prevents quick spray evaporation and plays an important role in the increase of soot mass fractions at this zone at full load conditions. The simulation results, such as the mean in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate and exhaust emissions are compared with the experimental data and show good agreement. This work also demonstrates the usefulness of multi-dimensional modeling for complex chamber geometries, such as in in-direct injection diesel engines, to gain more insight into the flow field, combustion process, and emission formation.

Numerical investigation of cavitating flow in variable area venturi on the basis of experimental data
Gümüşel, Hasan Tolg; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Variable area cavitating Venturi is a throttling device that can regulate the flow rate used in liquid and hybrid rocket motors. It has a pintle mechanism which adjusts the flow area by moving back and forth in the direction parallel to the outflow from the Venturi. The flow rate is independent of the downstream pressure due to cavitation. This makes the variable area cavitating Venturi a very critical component for liquid propellant rocket engine because it can create an isolation between the inlet and the...
Improved combustion model of boron particles for ducted rocket combustion chambers
Kalpakli, Bora; Acar, Emir Bedig; Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2017-5)
A combustion model of boron particles for detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based simulations of ducted rocket combustion chambers is studied. It is aimed to construct a model for combustion of boron containing gas mixtures ejected from a solid propellant gas generator. This model includes all main physical processes required to define an accurate particle combustion simulation. The reaction rate modeling in similar, previous studies are improved for ramjet combustion chambers and this model provi...
Effects of injection strategies and fuel injector configuration on combustion and emission characteristics of a DI diesel engine fueled by bio-diesel
Maghbouli, Amin; Yang, Wenming; An, Hui; Li, Jing; Shafee, Sina (2015-04-01)
A multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was conducted on a D.I. (Direct Injection) diesel engine fueled by bio-diesel based on KIVA4 code. Comprehensive chemistry prediction of bio-diesel fuel was taken into account by enhancing the combustion model of the default KIVA4 code. An advanced multi-component fuel combustion model was applied to accurately predict the oxidation of saturated and unsaturated agents of the bio-diesel fuel using a reduced chemical kinetics mechanism. In order ...

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of store separation using grid method
Demir, Görkem; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In this study, two different wind tunnel techniques, captive trajectory and the grid surveying method, were implemented to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and used to calculate the trajectory of a store. The main purpose of this thesis is to demonsrate that grid method is an alternative method to those already used as it provides flexibility to store separation problems and can be used during the design process. EGLIN test geometry was used to validate the analyses results because it provided existing wi...
