摘要
Improving the indicative thermal efficiency of CNG-DI engine is an important way to meet the requirements of low carbonization. In this paper, CFD software AVL FIRE is used to simulate and analyze the combustion process and in-cylinder flow field characteristics of CNG-DI engine modified with 2.0 L diesel engine. Firstly, the correctness of the calculation model is verified by experimental results of CNG-DI optical engine. Then, based on the simulation model, the effect of turbulence intensity of different combustion chamber structures on flame propagation process in CNG direct injection and the effect of double point ignition mode on flame propagation velocity in flat top combustion chamber are analyzed. The results show that the shape of combustion chamber has great influence on turbulence characteristics and concentration field distribution characteristics. The increase of turbulence intensity accelerates the flame propagation process, but excessive turbulence intensity will lead to the fracture of flame surface and insufficient local combustion, which will reduce the combustion efficiency and thus lead to the decline of indicating thermal efficiency. Double point ignition can not only increase the flame front area, but also form mutual driving effect between the two flame masses, with more sufficient combustion, so as to improve the indicating thermal efficiency. © 2022, Society of Automotive Engineers of China.
