Predictive modeling of combustion and emissions behavior in diesel and PPC engines Xue-Song Bai, Mehdi Jangi Dept of Energy Sciences, Lund University Eric Baudoin, Raymond Reinmann, Niklas Nordin Scania CV AB
Motivation • Diesel engine development • High efficiency • Low emissions of NOx, soot • Current solutions, among others • Advanced injection strategy with EGR • Non-conventional combustion mode: PPC • R&D approaches • Engine experiments • CFD simulations • CFD simulations are widely used in engine design • Used in all major engine companies • Cost-effective, 4-dimensional data, great potential • In USA Wisconsin group demonstrated the potential of CFD
Engine design and optimization • Large number of parameters, thousands CFD run cases • Injection strategies: nozzle, angles, timing, fuel type • EGR and inlet temperature, incylinder pressure • Piston/cylinder geometry • Turbulence intensity, swirl • Engine combustion model efficiency is of concern • Chemistry coupling with the flow is important for PPC • We developed a novel chemistry coordinate mapping (CCM) • State-of-art engine combustion CFD modeling • Considerable test of models for SI and diesel engines • Not well tested for PPC or diesel with EGR or alternative fuels • Not predictive • Accuracy and cost tradeoff
Accuracy and efficiency accuracy Detailed chemistry, LES-CCM Detailed chemistry, LES Detailed chemistry, RANS-CCM Detailed chemistry, RANS Simplified chemistry, RANS cost
Project goals and deliverables • Develop and systematically test the CFD tools and models • models used presently in industry and academics • under challenging diesel engines/PPC engines conditions • working with the OpenFoam platform • Carrying out real engine experiments • serves as validation of the CFD models • baseline case for testing advanced engine concept • Development of a guideline for the use of various CFD models • model accuracy (requiring detailed chemistry) • computational efficiency (CCM approach, focus of this project) • under various diesel/PPC engine-operating and fuel conditions.
Achievements • Evaluation of RANS based chemistry coordinate mapping (CCM) models under ECN Spray A conditions. • Evaluation of LES-CCM models using ECN cases with n-Dodecane and n-Heptane fuel under varying conditions. • A comparison of RANS-CCM and LES-CCM approaches is investigated based on the ECN cases. • Development of a new turbulence/chemistry interaction model, based on CCM and transported probability density function (PDF). • Engine experiment campaign at Scania are carried out with model fuels.
