The research work reported herein addresses the problem of mathematical modelling of fluid flow and combustion in internal combustion engines. In particular, the investigation of three topics that constitute prime sources of uncertainty, in current numerical models, namely turbulence modelling, inaccuracies in the solution procedure specific to moving grids, and combustion modelling. Two and three-dimensional computations of the in-cylinder turbulent flow in a diesel engine are described first, with emphasis on the modifications made to the standard k- model of turbulence to account for rapid

The enhancement of engine performance solely using incylinder techniques is proving increasingly difficult and as a consequence the concept of exhaust energy recovery has emerged as an area of considerable interest.

Abstract:

Controlled Auto Ignition (CAI) combustion is a new combustion principle in internal combustion engines which has in recent years attracted increased attention. In CAI combustion, which combines features of spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) principles, air/fuel mixture is premixed, as in SI combustion and auto-ignited by piston compression as in CI combustion. Ignition is provided in multiple points, and thus the charge gives a simultaneous energy release. This results in uniform and simultaneous auto-ignition and chemical reaction throughout the whole charge without flame propa

Internal combustion engines are the most commonly used engines in the automotive world. However, these engines lack an overheating prevention system against cooling system failures when they exceed their normal operating temperature.

As such, this paper describes the design and construction of an electromechanical device to prevent engine overheating.

Laser ignition is one of the latest attempts to improve the efficiency and performance of an IC engine. It is slightly unique in that the ignition source is one of the few component of a spark ignited engine that has not been changed in a long time. It is a system that allows a lot of freedom in what can be done with it. Common freedoms are the spatial placement of the spot, splitting the laser into multiple spots, and firing multiple lasers into the engine during a single cycle. It is the last that this thesis is mostly concerned with. Temporal variations are uniquely allowed by lasers over s

Their primary application, however, is in driving thermoacoustic refrigerators, which use acoustic power to provide cooling at potentially cryogenic temperatures, also without moving parts.
