Porous media (PM) has interesting advantages in compared with free flame combustion due to the higher burning rates, the increased power range, the extension of the lean flammability limits, and the low emissions of pollutants. Future clean internal combustion (IC) engines should have had minimum emissions level (for both gaseous and particulate matter) under possible lowest fuel consumption permitted in a wide range of speed, loads and having good transient response. These parameters strongly depend on mixture formation and combustion processes which are difficult to be controlled in a conventional engine. This may be achieved by realization of homogeneous combustion process in engine. This paper deals with the simulation of direct injection IC engine equipped with a chemically inert PM, with cylindrical geometry to homogenize and stabilize the combustion of engine. A 3D numerical model for PM engine is presented in this study based on a modified version of the KIVA-3V code. Due to lack of any published data for PM engines, numerical results of thermal and combustion wave propagation in a porous medium are compared with experimental data of lean methane-air mixture under filtration in packed bed and very good agreement is seen. For PM engine simulation methane as a fuel is injected directly inside hot PM that is assumed, mounted in cylinder head. Lean mixture is formed and volumetric combustion occurs in PM and in-cylinder. Mixture formation, pressure and temperature distribution in both phases of PM and in-cylinder fluid with the production of pollutants CO and NO and also effects of injection time in the closed part of the cycle are studied.


A computational study on performance and exhaust emissions from a 4-stroke DI CI engine using different air induction methods was carried out. Using AVL Boost IC engine simulation software a model was developed with a Naturally Aspirated (NA) air induction mode, the second model was developed by incorporating a turbocharger (TC) and again a third model was developed by the introduction of a turbocharger along with an intercooler (TCI). The individual effects of all the three air induction methods on the performance and emission of engine were studied and compared. The power output for the engine with TCI was observed to be 7.8% more than that of an engine with TC, where as it was even greater i-e 20% more when compared with NA engine. Similar Improved results for torque were also observed in case of an engine with TCI. It was also observed that emissions were higher with TCI followed with TC and NA.

The work described in this paper focuses on experiments to quantify the initial fuel mixing and gross fuel distribution in the cylinder during the intake stroke and its relationship to the large-scale convective flow field. The experiments were carried out in a water analog engine simulation rig, and, hence, limited to the intake stroke. The same engine head configuration was used for the three-dimensional PTV flow field and the PLIF fuel concentration measurements. High-speed CCD cameras were used to record the time evolution of the dye convection and mixing with a 1/4 deg of crank angle resolution (and were also used for the three-dimensional PTV measurements). The captured sequences of images were digitally processed to correct for background light non-uniformity and other spurious effects. The results are finely resolved evolution of the dye concentration maps in the center tumble plane. The three-dimensional PTV measurements show that the flow is characterized by a strong tumble, as well as pairs of cross-tumble, counter-rotating eddies. The results clearly show the advection of a fuel-rich zone along the wall opposite to the intake valves and later along the piston crown. It also shows that strong out-of-plane motions further contribute to the cross-stream mixing to result in a relatively uniform concentration at BDC, albeit slightly stratified by the lean fluid entering the cylinder later in the intake stroke. In addition to obtaining phase-averaged concentration maps at various crank angles throughout the intake stroke, the same data set is processed for a large number of cycle to extract spatial statistics of the cycle-to-cycle variability and spatial non-uniformity of the concentration maps. The combination of the three-dimensional PTV and PLIF measurements provides a very detailed understanding of the advective mixing properties of the intake-generated flow field.

Control oriented model (COM) using crank-angle resolved flame propagation simulation and nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) methodology for the purpose of transient control of HDOF engines are proposed in this paper. The nonlinear nature of the combustion process has been a challenge in building a reliable COM and engine simulation. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are subsequently trained on the data generated with a quasi-D combustion model to create fast surrogate combustion models. System dynamics are augmented by manifold and actuator dynamics models. Then, NMPC for an internal combustion (IC) engine with a dual-independent variable valve timing (VVT) system is designed to achieve fast torque responses, to eliminate exhaust emissions penalty, and to track the optimal actuator response closely. The NMPC significantly improves engine dynamics and minimizes excursions of in-cylinder variables under highly transient operation. Dead-beat like control is achieved with selected prediction horizon and control horizon in the NMPC.

Porous media (PM) has interesting advantages compared with free flame combustion due to the higher burning rates, the increased power range, the extension of the lean flammability limits, and the low emissions of pollutants. Future internal combustion (IC) engines should have had minimum emissions level, under possible lowest fuel consumption permitted at all operational conditions. This may be achieved by realization of homogeneous combustion process in engine. In this paper, possibility of using PM in direct injection IC engine, with cylindrical geometry for PM to have homogeneous combustion, is examined. A three-dimensional numerical model for the regenerative engine is presented in this study based on a modified version of the KIVA-3V code that is very popular for engine simulation. Methane as a fuel is injected directly inside hot PM that is assumed mounted in cylinder head. Very lean mixture is formed and volumetric combustion occurs in PM. Mixture formation, pressure, temperature distribution in both phases of PM and in-cylinder fluid with the production of pollutants CO and NO, in the closed part of the cycle is studied.
