Cycle-to-cycle variability is numerically simulated for high-speed, full-load operation of a turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine. Large-Eddy simulation adopted to replicate the fluctuations flow field affecting turbulent combustion. Experimental data were provided at knock onset, and large-Eddy was validated same condition. In original engine configuration, spark plug displaced toward exhaust side, while electrodes orientation arbitrary. A 90° rotation imposed evaluate effects...
As discussed in the part I of this paper, 3D models represent a useful tool for detailed description mean and turbulent flow fields inside engine cylinder. results are utilized to develop validate 0D phenomenological turbulence model, sensitive variation operative parameters such as valve phasing, lift, speed, etc. In II combustion model is presented, well. It based on fractal flame front able sense each fuel properties, operating conditions (air-to-fuel ratio, spark advance, boost level)...
It is widely recognized that air-fuel mixing, combustion and pollutant formation inside internal engines are strongly influenced by the spatial temporal evolution of both marco- micro- turbulent scales. Particularly, in spark ignited engines, generation a proper level turbulence intensity for correct development flame front traditionally based on onset, during intake compression strokes, tumbling macro-structure. Recently, order to reduce pumping losses due throttling develop advanced...
The large-scale adoption of fuel cells system for sustainable power generation will require the combined use both multidimensional models and dedicated testing techniques, in order to evolve current technology beyond its present status. This requires an unprecedented understanding concurrent interacting fluid dynamics, material electrochemical processes. In this review article, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are analysed. first part, most common approaches...
Hydrogen-fueled fuel cells are considered one of the key strategies to tackle achievement fully-sustainable mobility. The transportation sector is paying significant attention development and industrialization proton exchange membrane (PEMFC) be introduced alongside batteries, reaching goal complete de-carbonization. In this paper a multi-phase, multi-component, non-isothermal 3D-CFD model presented simulate fluid, heat, charge transport processes developing inside hydrogen/air PEMFC with...
In fluid mechanics research, data gathered from measurements and simulations may be challenging to interpret due complexities such as transience, non-linearity, high dimensionality. Velocity the airflow through an internal combustion engine often exhibit properties; nevertheless, accurate characterizations of these airflows are required in order correctly predict control subsequent emission processes pursuit net zero targets. The temporal mean is a common way representing ensemble...
