CFD MODELING OF THERMAL CYCLE OF SUPERCHARGED COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINE

Results of modelling of thermal cycle of turbocharged compression ignition IC engine are presented. The object of investigation was a 6CT107 turbocharged auto-ignition internal combustion engine powered by diesel oil, installed on an ANDORIA-MOT 100 kVA/ 80 kW power generating set in a portable version. The performed simulations of the combustion process have provided information on the spatial and time distributions of selected quantities within the combustion chamber of the test engine. The numerical analysis results have been juxtaposed with the results of indicating the engine on the test stand. Modelling of the thermal cycle of an auto-ignition piston engine in the AVL FIRE was carried out within the study. Advanced numerical submodels were used to analysis of combustion process, such as: Extended Coherent Flame Model (ECFM-3Z), turbulence model k-zeta-f, injection submodels with evaporation, collisions, coalescence and other. Intake and exhaust processes were included during modelling. This resulted in a lot of information about the intake, fuel mixing, ignition process and the exhaust process. Results of modelling were compared with results from real engine.
