The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to modelling of air flow in combustion engine intake manifold depending on airbox configuration. The non-stationary flow occurs in internal combustion engines. This is a specific type of flow characterized by the fact that the variables depend not only on the position but also on the time. The intake manifold dimension and geometry strongly effects intake air amount. The basic target goal is to investigate how the intake trumpet position in the airbox impacts the filling of the combustion chamber. Furthermore, the effect of different distances between the trumpet neck and the airbox wall in this paper will be compared.

Partially Premixed Combustion

This study is concerned with building a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to simulate the combustion process occurring in the combustion chamber of some domestic boilers. The burner used in this boiler is a conventional cylindrical premix burner with small inlet holes on its surface. A two-dimensional CFD model is built to simulate the combustion chamber domain, and the partially premixed combustion model with a postprocessor for NOx calculations is used to simulate the combustion process inside the combustion chamber. A complete description of the formation characteristics of NOx produced from the boiler is discussed in detail. A comparison between the CFD numerical results and the experimental measurements at different boiler loads is performed in order to validate the numerical model and investigate the accuracy of the CFD model. The validated CFD model is used to investigate the effect of different boundaries temperatures and the mixture inlet velocity on the flue gas average temperature, residence time, and hence the CO and NOx concentrations produced from the combustion chamber. The concept of changing the mixture inlet velocity is found to be an effective method to improve the design of the burner in order to reduce the pollutant emissions produced from the boiler with no effect on the boiler efficiency.

Dynamics Simulations

The spatial and temporal distribution of fuel and air within the combustion chamber directly influences ignition, combustion and emissions formation in diesel engines. These fuel-air interactions are affected by details of the combustion chamber geometry and fuel injection parameters. This paper investigates the effects of piston bowl geometry and spray targeting on combustion behaviour in a single cylinder diesel engine. Closed cycle computational fluid dynamics simulations are performed on a sector mesh at various load points using the 3 Zones Extended Coherent Flame Model coupled with adaptive mesh refinement. The computational fluid dynamics model is validated experimentally at the baseline conditions at each test point after-which, parametric sweeps of bowl geometry, exhaust gas recirculation rate and nozzle tip protrusion are conducted. Results indicate that appropriately pairing fuel injection strategy and piston geometry is essential.

Swirl Velocity

A parametric study of the effect of piston bowl configuration on air motion of a direct injection diesel engine motored at 3000 rpm is investigated. Two piston bowl configurations (Mexican-hat and Re-entrant) are modeled for the computational flow analysis. The flow characteristics of these engine bowls are examined under transient conditions using STAR CD, a commercial computational fluid dynamics package. The predicted computational fluid dynamics results of mean swirl velocity of the engine at different locations inside the combustion chamber, at the end of compression stroke were compared with experimental results available in the literature. The results obtained showed very good agreement with the measured data given in the literature. This paper discusses the predicted flow structure inside the combustion chamber at top dead center, with different piston bowl shapes at 3000 rpm. It also compares the radial distribution of mean swirl velocity component in the piston bowl for the two cases. It is observed that the Re-entrant bowl provides a higher swirl ratio at almost all locations than the Mexican hat bowl.

Cold Flow

Gas turbines are equipment used mainly in the generation of electric energy. They have as one of their main components the combustion chamber. Therefore, it is relevant to study the characteristics of this component, in order to reach a satisfactory operation. In this context, this paper presents an analysis of a combustion chamber applied to a gas turbine with a cold flow approach using the numerical theoretical method, through the computational fluid dynamics technique. In this experiment, the software Abaqus CFD (computational fluid dynamics) – present in the 3DExperience platform – and the finite volume method are used. The objective was to evaluate the flow, pressure and velocity profiles during the single-phase flow. The gas turbine prototype is configured using a combustion chamber of reverse flow type in order to decrease flow velocity and increase the combustion efficiency. Based on input data obtained from practical experiments, the calculation of the number and Reynolds confirmed – according to the literature of fluid mechanics – the occurrence of a flow classified as turbulent, with chaotic and random motion, what allows defining the ideal point of injection from analysis of velocity plots with stream lines. In addition, a Mach number smaller than 0.3 confirms the theory of having an incompressible flow, in which compressibility effects can be disregarded. The analysis of mass flow rates of the combustion zones made it possible to evaluate maximum differences of 3% between the design data and the one found in the study. To determine the inherent error of the mesh in the CFD study was calculated through the grid conference method, the value found was around 2.68%.
