Numerical Simulation on the Working Process of a Lean Burn Natural Gas Engine
Keyword(s):
The working process of a lean burn natural gas spark ignition engine was simulated with a 3-D CFD software package AVL-FIRE. Such simulations were made to analyze and understand the flow field, fuel/air mixture distribution, ignition and flame propagation. The simulations provide basis for the optimization of the combustion system of the engine. Two injection strategies for the pre-chamber enrichment were established and compared. The results indicate that with enrichment injection in the pre-chamber, the fuel/air equivalence ratio is precisely controlled in the range of 1.0 to 1.1, stable ignition in the pre-chamber is ensured, and fast initial flame propagation in main combustion chamber is realized.
