Book Description
Phenomenology of Diesel Combustion and Modeling Diesel is the most efficient combustion engine today and it plays an important role in transport of goods and passengers on land and on high seas. The emissions must be controlled as stipulated by the society without sacrificing the legendary fuel economy of the diesel engines. These important drivers caused innovations in diesel engineering like re-entrant combustion chambers in the piston, lower swirl support and high pressure injection, in turn reducing the ignition delay and hence the nitric oxides. The limits on emissions are being continually reduced. The- fore, the required accuracy of the models to predict the emissions and efficiency of the engines is high. The phenomenological combustion models based on physical and chemical description of the processes in the engine are practical to describe diesel engine combustion and to carry out parametric studies. This is because the injection process, which can be relatively well predicted, has the dominant effect on mixture formation and subsequent course of combustion. The need for improving these models by incorporating new developments in engine designs is explained in Chapter 2. With “model based control programs” used in the Electronic Control Units of the engines, phenomenological models are assuming more importance now because the detailed CFD based models are too slow to be handled by the Electronic Control Units. Experimental work is necessary to develop the basic understanding of the pr- esses.

Book Description
Internal combustion engines still have a potential for substantial improvements, particularly with regard to fuel efficiency and environmental compatibility. These goals can be achieved with help of control systems. Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) addresses these issues by offering an introduction to cost-effective model-based control system design for ICE. The primary emphasis is put on the ICE and its auxiliary devices. Mathematical models for these processes are developed in the text and selected feedforward and feedback control problems are discussed. The appendix contains a summary of the most important controller analysis and design methods, and a case study that analyzes a simplified idle-speed control problem. The book is written for students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.

Book Description
Despite the increasing interest in multidimensional combustion engine simulation from researchers and industry, the field of application has been restricted to stationary operating points for turbocharged engines. Andreas Kächele presents a 3D-CFD approach to extend the simulation into the transient regime, enabling the detailed analysis of phenomena during changes in engine operating point. The approach is validated by means of a virtual hot gas test bench and experiments on a two-cylinder engine.

Book Description
This work develops a computational framework for modeling turbulent combustion in multi-feed systems that can be applied to internal combustion engines with multiple injections. In the first part of this work, the laminar flamelet equations are extended to two dimensions to enable the representation of a three-feed system that can be characterized by two mixture fractions. A coupling between the resulting equations and the turbulent flow field that enables the use of this method in unsteady simulations is then introduced. Models are developed to describe the scalar dissipation rates of each mixture fraction, which are the parameters that determine the influence of turbulent mixing on the flame structure. Furthermore, a new understanding of the function of the joint dissipation rate of both mixture fractions is discussed. Next, the extended flamelet equations are validated using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of multi-stream ignition that employ detailed finite-rate chemistry. The results demonstrate that the ignition of the overall mixture is influenced by heat and mass transfer between the fuel streams and that this interaction is manifested as a front propagation in two-dimensional mixture fraction space. The flamelet model is shown to capture this behavior well and is therefore able to accurately describe the ignition process of each mixture. To provide closure between the flamelet chemistry and the turbulent flow field, information about the joint statistics of the two mixture fractions is required. An investigation of the joint probability density function (PDF) was carried out using DNS of two scalars mixing in stationary isotropic turbulence. It was found that available models for the joint PDF lack the ability to conserve all second-order moments necessary for an adequate description of the mixing field. A new five parameter bivariate beta distribution was therefore developed and shown to describe the joint PDF more accurately throughout the entire mixing time and for a wide range of initial conditions. Finally, the proposed model framework is applied in the simulation of a split-injection diesel engine and compared with experimental results. A range of operating points and different injection strategies are investigated. Comparisons with the experimental pressure traces show that the model is able to predict the ignition delay of each injection and the overall combustion process with good accuracy. These results indicate that the model is applicable to the range of regimes found in diesel combustion.

Book Description
The utilization of mathematical models to numerically describe the performance of internal combustion engines is of great significance in the development of new and improved engines. Today, such simulation models can already be viewed as standard tools, and their importance is likely to increase further as available com puter power is expected to increase and the predictive quality of the models is constantly enhanced. This book describes and discusses the most widely used mathematical models for in-cylinder spray and combustion processes, which are the most important subprocesses affecting engine fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The relevant thermodynamic, fluid dynamic and chemical principles are summarized, and then the application of these principles to the in-cylinder processes is ex plained. Different modeling approaches for the each subprocesses are compared and discussed with respect to the governing model assumptions and simplifica tions. Conclusions are drawn as to which model approach is appropriate for a specific type of problem in the development process of an engine. Hence, this book may serve both as a graduate level textbook for combustion engineering stu dents and as a reference for professionals employed in the field of combustion en gine modeling. The research necessary for this book was carried out during my employment as a postdoctoral scientist at the Institute of Technical Combustion (ITV) at the Uni versity of Hannover, Germany and at the Engine Research Center (ERC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

Book Description
Computational Optimization of Internal Combustion Engines presents the state of the art of computational models and optimization methods for internal combustion engine development using multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools and genetic algorithms. Strategies to reduce computational cost and mesh dependency are discussed, as well as regression analysis methods. Several case studies are presented in a section devoted to applications, including assessments of: spark-ignition engines, dual-fuel engines, heavy duty and light duty diesel engines. Through regression analysis, optimization results are used to explain complex interactions between engine design parameters, such as nozzle design, injection timing, swirl, exhaust gas recirculation, bore size, and piston bowl shape. Computational Optimization of Internal Combustion Engines demonstrates that the current multi-dimensional CFD tools are mature enough for practical development of internal combustion engines. It is written for researchers and designers in mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.
