Three-dimensional computation of spray and combustion in 16V240ZJ diesel engine was performed by CFD numerical simulation tool FIRE. Because of the unceasing change of the temperature and the mixture in the cylinder, traditional performance-prediction method can only supply the limited information. The appearance of numerical simulation brought a bright future for the design and development of the new diesel engine. Combustion is an extremely complex process ,involving flow field, fuel injection and various combustion reactions. By calculus simulation, we have a thorough understanding of the combustion process of 16V240ZJ diesel engine. Through the flow field and concentrative analysis in the cylinder, the effect of advance angle of fuel on combustion process and formation of NOx and soot was investigated. The results show that the advance angle of fuel has a great effect on spray atomization and fuel-air mixture, and consequently influences the combustion and emission. By simulating , we can get the optimal advance angle of fuel for 16V240ZJ diesel engine is 15°BTDC, namely 345°CA, at which, the emissions are fewer ,and the efficiency is better .The CFD simulation has a direct value for optimizing the chamber’s structure and improving the combustion system.

Diesel spray characteristics are closely related to the combustion of the engine where the spray tip penetration and the fuel atomization play a key role especially for direct injection (DI) diesel engine. With different nozzles, the fuel atomization and evaporation will be different thereby affecting the combustion and emission characteristics. A three-dimensional model is built based on the parameters of a DI diesel engine, and its validation is also validated. Three nozzle-hole layouts are designed in this research, including the conventional hole, multi-hole, and group-hole. The spray characteristics and combustion process are studied with three different nozzle-hole layouts by the way of numerical simulation. Further more, the effect of inter-hole spacing of group-hole nozzle on the evaporation rate and combustion process is researched here.

High-Speed Direct Injection (HSDI) diesel engines are increasingly used in automotive applications due to superior fuel economy. An advanced CFD simulation has been carried out to analyze the effect of injection timing on combustion process and emission characteristics in a four valves 2.0L Ford diesel engine. The calculation was performed from intake valve closing (IVC) to exhaust valve opening (EVO) at constant speed of 1600 rpm. Since the work was concentrated on the spray injection, mixture formation and combustion process, only a 60° sector mesh was employed for the calculations. For combustion modeling, an improved version of the Coherent Flame Model (ECFM-3Z) has been applied accompanied with advanced models for emission modeling. The results of simulation were compared against experimental data. Good agreement of calculated and measured in-cylinder pressure trace and pollutant formation trends were observed for all investigated operating points. In addition, the results showed that the current CFD model can be applied as a beneficial tool for analyzing the parameters of the diesel combustion under HSDI operating condition.

Tabulated Chemistry

A numerical platform is presented for diesel engine performance mapping. The platform employs a zero-dimensional stochastic reactor model for the simulation of engine in-cylinder processes. n-Heptane is used as diesel surrogate for the modeling of fuel oxidation and emission formation. The overall simulation process is carried out in an automated manner using a genetic algorithm. The probability density function formulation of the stochastic reactor model enables an insight into the locality of turbulence–chemistry interactions that characterize the combustion process in diesel engines. The interactions are accounted for by the modeling of representative mixing time. The mixing time is parametrized with known engine operating parameters such as load, speed and fuel injection strategy. The detailed chemistry consideration and mixing time parametrization enable the extrapolation of engine performance parameters beyond the operating points used for model training. The results show that the model responds correctly to the changes of engine control parameters such as fuel injection timing and exhaust gas recirculation rate. It is demonstrated that the method developed can be applied to the prediction of engine load–speed maps for exhaust NOx, indicated mean effective pressure and fuel consumption. The maps can be derived from the limited experimental data available for model calibration. Significant speedup of the simulations process can be achieved using tabulated chemistry. Overall, the method presented can be considered as a bridge between the experimental works and the development of mean value engine models for engine control applications.

Calculation fluid dynamics software Fluent was used to conduct three-dimensional numerical simulation on gas-liquid two-phase flow field in a wet flue gas desulfurization scrubber. The k-ε model and SIMPLE computing were adopted in the analysis. The numerical simulation results show that the different gas entrance angles lead to internal changes of gas-liquid two-phase flow field, which provides references for reasonable parameter design of entrance angle in the scrubber.

The head of low-head hydropower stations is generally higher than 2.5m in the world, while micro-head hydropower resources which head is less than 2.5m are also very rich. In the paper, three-dimensional CFD method has been used to simulate flow passage of the micro-head bulb turbine. The design head and unit flow of the turbine was 1m and 3m3/s respectively. With the numerical simulation, the bulb turbine is researched by analyzing external characteristics of the bulb turbine, flow distribution before the runner, pressure distribution of the runner blade surface, and flow distribution of the outlet conduit under three different schemes. The turbine in second scheme was test by manufactured into a physical model. According to the results of numerical simulation and model test, bulb turbine with no guide vane in second scheme has simpler structure, lower cost, and better flow capacity than first scheme, which has traditional multi-guide vanes. Meanwhile, efficiency of second scheme has just little decrease. The results of three dimensions CFD simulation and test results agree well in second scheme, and higher efficiency is up to 77% which has a wider area with the head of 1m. The curved supports in third scheme are combined guide vanes to the fixed supports based on 2nd scheme. By the water circulations flowing along the curved supports which improve energy transformation ability of the runner, the efficiency of the turbine in third scheme is up to 82.6%. Third scheme, which has simpler structure and best performance, is appropriate for the development and utilization of micro-head hydropower resources in plains and oceans.

Abstract The design and model simulation of a can combustor has been made for future syngas combustion application in a micro gas turbine. An improved design of the combustor is studied in this work, where a new fuel injection strategy and film cooling are employed. The simulation of the combustor is conducted by a computational model, which consists of three-dimensional, compressible k-ε model for turbulent flows and PPDF (Presumed Probability Density Function) model for combustion process invoking a laminar flamelet assumption generated by detailed chemical kinetics from GRI 3.0. Thermal and prompt NOx mechanisms are adopted to predict the NO formation. The modeling results indicated that the high temperature flames are stabilized in the center of the primary zone by radially injecting the fuel inward. The exit temperatures of the modified can combustor drop and exhibit a more uniform distribution by coupling film cooling, resulting in a low pattern factor. The combustion characteristics were then investigated and the optimization procedures of the fuel compositions and fuel flow rates were developed for future application of methane/syngas fuels in the micro gas turbine.

Liquid Mass Flow Rate

Abstract The Steam turbine is widely used for generating electricity, in the thermal, nuclear and geothermal power generation systems. A wet loss is known as one of the degrading factors of the performance. To reduce the amount of liquid phase generated by condensation and atomization from nozzles, the prediction of the distribution of liquid mass flow rate inside the turbine is important. However, the quantitative understanding and the prediction method of the liquid flow inside the turbine remain unclear because physics inside a turbine is consisting of complex multiscale and multiphase events. In the present study, we proposed a theoretical model predicting the motion of droplet particles in gas flow based on Stokes number whose model does not require numerical simulation. We also conducted the numerical validation test using three-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation for the problem with turbine blade T106. The numerical simulation shows that the particle motion is characterized by the Stokes number, that is consistent with the assumption of the theoretical model and previous studies. When Stokes number is smaller than one, the particle trajectory just follows the gas flow streamline and avoids the impacts on the surface of T106. With increasing Stokes number, the particles begin to deviate from the gas flow. As a result, many particles collide with the surface of T106 when the Stokes number is approximately one. When the Stokes number is extremely larger than one, particles move straight regardless of the background gas flow. The good agreements between the theoretical predictions and numerical experiment results justify the use of our proposed theoretical model for the prediction of the particle flow around the turbine blade.

Abstract. To analyze the droplet deposition under the influence of the flow field of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a hand-held three-dimensional (3D) laser scanner was used to scan 3D images of the UAV. Fluent software was used to simulate the motion characteristics of droplets and flow fields under the conditions of a flight speed of 3 m/s and an altitude of 1.5 m. The results indicated that the ground deposition concentration in the nonrotor flow field was high, the spray field width was 2.6 m, and the droplet deposition concentration was 50 to 200 ug/cm2. Under the influence of the rotor flow field, the widest deposition range of droplets reached 12.8 m. Notably, the droplet deposition uniformity worsened, and the concentration range of the droplet deposition was 0 to 500 ug/cm2. With the downward development of the downwash flow field, the overall velocity of the flow field gradually decreased, and the influence interval of the flow field gradually expanded. In this article, the droplet concentration was verified under simulated working conditions by a field experiment, thereby demonstrating the reliability of the numerical simulation results. This research could provide a basis for determining optimal UAV operating parameters, reducing the drift of droplets and increasing the utilization rate of pesticides.
