进气中CO2浓度对预混合燃烧和排放影响的试验和模拟研究

本文研究了进气中CO2浓度对燃烧和排放特性的影响.研究表明在所有的预混合燃料比下,当CO2浓度增加时,NOx排放随之大幅减少,烟度排放有小的变化。利用KIVA3V和湍流与化学反应交互的燃烧模型对柴油机预混合燃烧进行了模拟研究,对缸内OH浓度的模拟计算表明,随着CO2浓度的增加,着火前期OH生成浓度明显向后推移,这表明燃料的氧化速率随CO2浓度的增加变慢,从而延长了着火滞燃期。进气中CO2浓度变大时,燃烧温度降低,有利于降低NOx的排放。

基于废气管理的汽油机缸内温度不均匀分布对自燃着火的影响

基于废气-负荷控制策略的汽油机HCCI燃烧,利用排气门管理内部残余废气率,控制发动机负荷,进气门升程和相位调节缸内状态,控制着火和优化燃烧相位。本文利用KIVA对全可变气门机构单缸机进行CFD仿真,研究缸内温度、残余废气分布特征,以及温度、废气不均匀分布对着火的影响。结果表明,采用废气-负荷控制策略,改变进气门相位和升程可以调节缸内温度和残余废气的不均匀分布。随着内部残余废气率增大,进气门对缸内温度和废气率分布不均匀度的调控能力增强。大废气率条件下,温度和废气率不均匀度对着火时刻调节作用较明显,可以实现10°曲轴转角的有效调节;小废气率条件下,由于缸内温度和废气不均匀分布差别较小,其对于着火时刻的调节作用表现得不明显。

化学反应机理对激波与可燃氢气泡相互作用影响的数值研究

通过含化学源项的Navier-Stokes方程对激波与可燃界面相互作用（RSBI）进行数值研究,讨论三种氢氧化学反应机理对点火过程、燃烧效率和面积压缩率等物理化学特征的影响.三种化学反应分别为：Evans-Schexnayder反应模型（ES模型）,Jachimowski反应模型（J模型）及Ó Conaire反应模型（Ó模型）.研究表明：ES模型下的气泡点火延迟时间最大,平衡温度最低且点火位置异于J模型和Ó模型.采用无量纲面积来表征激波和燃烧作用气泡的形变特征,结果表明：燃烧释热阶段的气泡面积对化学反应模型的选择非常敏感,其中J模型的面积膨胀率最高.然而对于模拟长期发展的RSBI流场燃烧效率,不同化学反应模型之间的差异相对缩小.由于ES模型难以准确捕捉点火位置,J模型和Ó模型更适合模拟RSBI这类复杂流动的点火现象及燃烧流动耦合过程.

燃烧室部件传热空间非均匀性对缸内燃烧的影响

将所有燃烧室部件(气缸盖-气缸套-活塞组-润滑油膜)作为一个耦合体,在对耦合体进行三维传热数值模拟的基础上,利用分区求解、边界耦合法建立缸内工作过程与燃烧室部件的三维耦合计算模型,从而实现缸内工作过程与燃烧室部件的耦合三维仿真模拟,以此考察燃烧室部件传热空间非均匀性对缸内燃烧的影响。研究结果表明,燃烧室部件传热空间非均匀性在喷雾过程几乎对燃烧没有任何影响,可以忽略不计;燃烧过程后期,这种传热空间非均匀性才越来越明显,由此可以推断,燃烧室部件传热空间非均匀性的影响在排气过程将进一步加剧。     

Influence of the in-cylinder flow on cycle-to-cycle variations in lean combustion DISI engines measured by high-speed scanning-PIV

In this study, the influence of the three-dimensional (3D) in-cylinder flow on engine's cycle-to-cycle variations (CCV) in a spray-guided direct-injection spark-ignition engine is investigated. The engine is operated at homogeneous lean air–fuel mixture which enhances the sensitivity to CCV due to reduced laminar flame speed. To compensate this, intake velocity is increased by a tumble-flap (TF) in the intake-port. To address the 3D-nature of the temporal evolution of the instantaneous in-cylinder flow for different TF-positions, time-resolved scanning particle image velocimetry (Scanning-PIV) is applied to the engine. The required scan-frequency is provided by an acousto-optical-deflector (AOD) to measure the flow field quasi-simultaneously in the central tumble-plane and both mid-valve-planes. The three planes are 18?mm displaced from each other to capture the variability of the large-scale tumble vortex. The in-cylinder flow measurements are combined with combustion analyses by the in-cylinder pressure-trace and the detection of the location of ignition through the evaluation of the luminous spark-plasma. A correlation-map analysis is conducted to identify coherent flow features responsible for CCV of the combustion parameters. This reveals a strong dependency of the spark position to variations of an upward directed flow pointing onto the spark plug. The variations of the upward flow are due to strong CCV of the bended tumble-axis position. An increased tumble motion caused by the TF results in favorable flow conditions by stabilizing the tumble-axis in the middle of the cylinder which decreases the CCV of the spark position significantly. Further correlation analysis including the combustion process exhibits that flow-structures moving the spark and early flame kernel towards the cylinder center reduces the crank angle of 5% heat release and the combustion duration considerably.     

Modification to Nagle/Strickland-Constable model with consideration of soot nanostructure effects

The oxidation rates of diesel soot from the combustion chamber of a running diesel engine were calculated based on the particle size distributions at different crank angles. The primary particle diameter and nanostructure of soot were obtained by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The soot characteristics were also investigated by oxidative thermogravimetry and Raman scattering spectrometry.

The results showed the soot nanostructures were dependent on engine operation conditions and combustion phases. The oxidation rates were found to differ by nearly fourfold from that calculated by the Nagle/Strickland-Constable (NSC) model for the soots studied here. The varied oxidation rates were interpreted in terms of differences in nanostructure between the soots. The experimental results were used to modify the NSC model and the fringe length of in-cylinder diesel soot was chosen to describe the influence of graphitisation on the oxidation of soot. The modified NSC model lessened the deviation between measurements and predictions.     

正庚烷复合均质压燃的燃烧与排放特性研究

基于简单碰撞理论煤粉燃烧动力学模型的研究--PART Ⅱ:颗粒表面的氧气浓度分布模型

为了较准确地预报炉内煤粉燃烧速率,正确区分TGA中滞止煤粉表面与炉内载流煤粉表面氧气浓度的变化规律是非常关键的。从TGA中非稳态条件下坩埚内颗粒表面氧气浓度分布的数理解知,煤样的氧化过程是同时进行的,只是上部的氧化速率大一些,底部的氧化速率小一些;同一样品,同一升温速率,试样的堆积厚度的差异,会影响实验结果的重复性。分析表明,在初始和反应结束时,坩埚内颗粒表面氧气浓度等于环境浓度;反应速率达到最大值时,颗粒表面氧气浓度达到最小值。颗粒在炉内流动燃烧过程中,环境中氧气浓度值是单调减少的,煤焦表面氧的浓度是非线性变化的。     

Laser metrology — a diagnostic tool in automotive development processes

Laser measurement techniques are widely used in automotive development processes. Applications at Volkswagen are presented where laser metrology works as a diagnostic tool for analysing and optimising complex coupled processes inside and between automotive components and structures such as the reduction of a vehicle's interior or outer acoustic noise, including brake noise, and the combustion analysis for diesel and gasoline engines to further reduce fuel consumption and pollution. Pulsed electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and holographic interferometry are used for analysing the knocking behaviour of modern engines and for correct positioning of knocking sensors. Holographic interferometry shows up the vibrational behaviour of brake components and their interaction during braking, and allows optimisation for noise-free brake systems. Scanning laser vibrometry analyses structure-born noise of a whole car body for the optimisation of its interior acoustical behaviour.Modern engine combustion concepts such as in direct-injection (DI) gasoline and diesel engines benefit from laser diagnostic tools which permit deeper insight into the in-cylinder processes such as flow generation, fuel injection and spray formation, atomisation and mixing, ignition and combustion, and formation and reduction of pollutants. The necessary optical access inside a cylinder is realised by so-called ‘transparent engines’ allowing measurements nearly during the whole engine cycle. Measurement techniques and results on double-pulse particle image velocimetry (PIV) with a frequency-doubled YAG laser for in-cylinder flow analysis are presented, as well as Mie-scattering on droplets using a copper vapour laser combined with high-speed filming, and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with an excimer laser for spray and fuel vapour analysis.     

A comparative study on partially premixed combustion (PPC) and reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) in an optical engine

Partially premixed combustion (PPC) and reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) are two new combustion modes in compression-ignition (CI) engines. However, the detailed in-cylinder ignition and flame development process in these two CI modes were not clearly understood. In the present study, firstly, the fuel stratification, ignition and flame development in PPC and RCCI were comparatively studied on a light-duty optical engine using multiple optical diagnostic techniques. The overall fuel reactivity (PRF number) and concentration (fuel-air equivalence ratio) were kept at 70 and 0.77 for both modes, respectively. Iso-octane and n-heptane were separately used in the port-injection (PI) and direct-injection (DI) for RCCI, while PRF70 fuel was introduced through direct-injection (DI) for PPC. The DI timing for both modes was fixed at –25°CA ATDC. Secondly, the combustion characteristics of PPC and RCCI with more premixed charge were explored by increasing the PI mass fraction for RCCI and using the split DI strategy for PPC. In the first part, results show that RCCI has shorter ignition delay than PPC due to the fuel reactivity stratification. The natural flame luminosity, formaldehyde and OH PLIF images prove that the flame front propagation in the early stage of PPC can be seen, while there is no distinct flame front propagation in RCCI. In the second part, the higher premixed ratio results in more auto-ignition sites and faster combustion rate for PPC. However, the higher premixed ratio reduces the combustion rate in RCCI mode and the flame front propagation can be clearly seen, the flame speed of which is similar to that in spark ignition engines but lower than that in PPC. It can be concluded that the ratio of flame front propagation and auto-ignition in RCCI and PPC can be modulated by the control over the fuel stratification degree through different fuel-injection strategies.     

Quantitative laser-induced fluorescence measurements of nitric oxide in a heavy-duty Diesel engine

We present quantitative, in-cylinder, UV-laser-induced fluorescence measurements of nitric oxide in a heavy-duty Diesel engine. Processing of the raw fluorescence signals includes a detailed correction, based on additional measurements, for the effect of laser beam and fluorescence attenuation, and for the pressure and temperature dependence of the fluorescence efficiency, based on numerical modelling. These corrections are largest early in the stroke, when quenching rates are high and UV transmission is low. Together, they vary over more than three orders of magnitude during the combustion stroke. Fully quantitative results are realised by an overall calibration using independent concentration measurements in the exhaust gas. The data provide evidence of NO formation during both the premixed and mixing-controlled combustion phases.     

Impact of post-injection strategy on the physicochemical properties and reactivity of diesel in-cylinder soot

Post injection has significant benefit in the reduction of diesel soot emissions. Therefore, there is a need to understand the effect of post-injection strategy on soot physicochemical properties and reactivity because they play an important role in soot oxidation process that governs the final soot emissions. This work focuses on the impact of post injection on the physicochemical properties and reactivity of diesel in-cylinder soot using a main plus post injection (M*P) and a single injection (M) strategy. The soot was sampled by a developed total cylinder sampling system, and the dividing points of soot formation-dominant and oxidation-dominant phases were used for studying the impacts of post injection on the characteristics of in-cylinder soot. The physicochemical properties of the soot samples, including primary particle size, nanostructure, carbon chemical state and surface functional groups, were characterized. The soot reactivity was evaluated in terms of peak temperature, burnout temperature and apparent activation energy. In the oxidation-dominant phase, the M*P soot initially possesses smaller primary particle size, shorter fringe length, larger tortuosity, lower sp²/sp³ hybridization ratio of carbon atoms and higher content of aliphatic CH groups than the M soot. The beneficial influence of physicochemical properties on soot reactivity when using post injection is validated by the thermogravimetric data, which shows that the M*P soot is more reactive than the M soot at the onset of the oxidation-dominant phase. In the M*P case, the soot generated from the main-injection combustion has lower reactivity than the soot from the post-injection combustion after they experience the soot formation-dominant phase. The results indicate that the use of post injection leads to in-cylinder soot with physicochemical properties that favor reactivity. The enhancement of reactivity means that the soot will be more readily oxidized in the subsequent combustion process, and consequently contributes to a reduction in final soot emissions.     

四气门汽油机缸内滚流运动对燃烧过程影响的研究

1引言近年来，四气门汽油机由于性能优越，已成为车用发动机的发展方向，而我国在这方面的研究和开发还没有开展。对其缸内空气运动的研究发现[1-4]：当两个进气门都打开时，缸内空气运动主要是绕与气缸轴线垂直方向旋转的滚流运动（Tumblemotion），与传统二气门发动机缸内形成的绕气缸轴线旋转的涡流运动（Swirlmotion）不同；它在压缩末期很容易破碎，大大增加了湍流强度，促进燃烧过程明显改善。但在低速时，由于进气速度下降，燃油在进气道蒸发和雾化变差，使燃烧过程恶化，发动机扭矩下降。为此，一些汽车公司采用在低速时将一个进气…
