NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ENGINE WITH SPARK IGNITION AND COMPRESSION IGNITION

The article presents simulation researches on the combustion process in the four-cylinder testing engine, based on the spark ignition engine Toyota Yaris 1,3 dm(3) which was equipped with two systems of power supply i.e.: fundamental and ignition. Two methods of initiating the combustion process were applied: by spark ignition and, after it was turned off, by means of the ignition dose injection. The researches aimed at revealing the differences in the combustion process and engine performance, above all the changes in pressure that occurred in the cylinder for that kind of two-fuel power supply of the engine. The ignition dose injected into the cylinder was equal to about 5 divided by 8 % of the general mass of the fuel supplied to the engine. The mass of the fuel injected into the approach collector determined the remaining part, and the direct injection of the fuel took place over several dozen of rotation degrees of the crankshaft before TDC (Top Dead Centre). A spatial grid of the engine's model (pre-processor) was prepared, and also a modification to the source KIVA 3V program was made consisting in taking into account of two systems of injection. It is necessary to mention that the standard KIVA 3V program contains, as a default, only one source of fuel injection.
