An engine CFD model has been developed to simulate premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion using detailed chemistry. The numerical model is based on the KIVA code that is modified to use CHEMKIN as the chemistry solver. The model was applied to simulate ignition, combustion, and emissions processes in diesel engines operated to achieve PCCI conditions. Diesel PCCI experiments using both low- and high-pressure injectors were simulated. For the low-pressure injector with early injection (close to intake valve closure), the model shows that wall wetting can be minimized by using a pressure-swirl atomizer with a variable spray angle. In the case of using a high-pressure injector, it is found that late injection (SOI = 5 ° ATDC) benefits soot emissions as a result of low-temperature combustion at highly premixed conditions. The model was also used to validate the emission reduction potential of an HSDI diesel engine using a double injection strategy that favours PCCI conditions. It is concluded that the present model is useful to assess future engine combustion concepts, such as PCCI and low-temperature combustion (LTC).

Abstract Recently, a new design of engine combustion that achieves higher efficiency and less NOx emission has been proposed. Some researchers have started studying the concept, which is called Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), but there have been few reports on investigations using a future prospective alternative fuel, natural gas. In this study, natural gas fueled operation of HCCI using a single cylinder gas engine was conducted. Operating and exhaust characteristics were obtained. Experimental data confirmed the potential of higher efficiency and less NOx emission, though THC and CO were higher. Based on these data, the feasibility of this concept for gas engines is also examined.
