Total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes have been recently introduced for the calculation of the one-dimensional unsteady flow in the inlet and outlet pipes of internal combustion engines. This paper describes the flux difference splitting technique (with first- or second-order upwind fluxes) for the classic TVD schemes. To avoid problems at nodes with a section change, a new TVD scheme is developed. This paper further describes a method to impose the boundary condition at the pipe end, independent of the numerical scheme used. This is shown for a reservoir inlet of the pipe and a subsonic outlet flow. For two test cases (the shock-tube and the tapered-pipe calculation), the new TVD algorithm is compared with the classic TVD schemes. The evaluation shows that the new cell—vertex TVD scheme with superbee limiter in two stage form combines a high accuracy with an exact representation of the mass flow in each of the nodes.

Zero-dimensional/one-dimensional computational fluid dynamics codes are used to simulate the performance of complete internal combustion engines. In such codes, the operation of a turbocharger compressor is usually addressed employing its performance map. However, simulation of engine transients may drive the compressor to work at operating conditions outside the region provided by the manufacturer map. Therefore, a method is required to extrapolate the performance map to extended off-design conditions. This work examines several extrapolating methods at the different off-design regions, namely, low-pressure ratio zone, low-speed zone and high-speed zone. The accuracy of the methods is assessed with the aid of compressor extreme off-design measurements. In this way, the best method is selected for each region and the manufacturer map is used in design conditions, resulting in a zonal extrapolating approach aiming to preserve accuracy. The transitions between extrapolated zones are corrected, avoiding discontinuities and instabilities.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is very widespread use every day as a tool in fluid flow analyses. In order to solve the Partial Differential Equation (PDE), there are few approach been introduced. The total variation diminishing (TVD) is a most popular scheme which is usually used in combination with other scheme. Therefore, this study develops CFD code by using Runge-Kutta which based on combination of central scheme and TVD scheme. Comparison was done through purely Runge-Kutta and after implemented TVD. The result shows that combination of Runge-Kutta and TVD approach are more stable as compared to purely Runge-Kutta approach.

A high-resolution, total variation diminishing (TVD) stable scheme is derived for scalar hyperbolic problems using the method of flux limiters. The scheme was constructed by combining the 1st-order upwind scheme and the 3rd-order quadratic upstream interpolation scheme (QUICK) using new flux limiter function. The new flux limiter function was established by imposing several conditions to ensure the TVD properties of the scheme. For temporal discretization, the theta method was used, and values for the parameter θ were chosen such that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical results are presented for one-dimensional pure advection problems with smooth and discontinuous initial conditions and are compared to those of other known numerical schemes. The results show that the proposed numerical method is stable and of higher order than other common schemes.

In this work, a constant-pressure model capable to simulate the overlap of chambers in rotary internal combustion engines is proposed. It refers as a chamber overlap when two adjacent chambers are in communication through the same port, which could occur in some rotary internal combustion engines. The proposed model is thermodynamic (or zero-dimensional (0D)) in nature and is designed for application in engine simulators that combine one-dimensional (1D) gasdynamic models with thermodynamic ones. Since the equations of the proposed model depend on the flow direction and on the flow regime, a robust and reliable solution strategy is developed. The model is assessed using a two-dimensional (2D) problem and is applied in the simulation of a rotary internal combustion engine. Results for this last problem are compared with other common approaches used in the simulation of rotary engines, showing the importance of effects such as the interaction between overlapping chambers and the dynamics of the flow.
