"NEAR WALL" COMBUSTION MODEL OF SPARK IGNITION ENGINE

ABSTRACT

This paper has illustrated a "near wall" combustion model for a spark ignition engine that was included in a two-zone thermodynamic model. The model has calculated cylinder pressure and temperature, composition, as well as heat transfer of fresh and combustion gas. The CO submodel used a simplified chemical equation to calculate the dynamics of CO during the expansion phase. Subsequently, the HC submodel is introduced, and the post-flame oxidation of un-burned hydrocarbon was affected by the reaction/diffusion phenomenon. After burning 90% of the fuel, the hydrocarbon reaction dominates at a very late stage of combustion. This modeling method can more directly describe the "near wall" flame reaction and its contribution to the total heat release rate.
