Low-carbon economy is a necessary requirement for sustainable development. LPG Direct Injection (DI) method can greatly improve the engines power performance, fuel economy and emission characteristics, hence a new wall-guided combustion system with a specially designed piston cavity used to form lean stratified mixture for DI LPG engine was proposed. In this paper, the stratified mixture formation process of a DI LPG engine was simulated. Before this, the model and method used in the simulation was firstly validated by simulating mixture formation process in an optical engine with conventional piston. The simulation results of the stratified mixture formation showed that, the mixture could gradually move upward along the combustion chamber wall under the guide of the spray induced entrainment vortex and the wall. At the same time, the rich mixture would diffuse to its surroundings. Finally, by the time to ignition, the ignitable stratified lean mixture could be formed.

To study the effects of intake port structure parameters (inlet area and throat area) of a gasoline direct injection engine on mixture formation, a steady-flow test and transient simulation with four kinds of intake ports (named Cases 1–4) were simulated using AVL FIRE; a four-valve, four-cylinder gasoline direct injection engine with Case 1 was also operated under wide-open-throat conditions with a speed of 5500 r/min as the test basis. According to the simulation results, the flow coefficient increased with an increase in throat and decrease in inlet areas; however, a reverse change of them can improve the tumble ratio. In addition, the tumble ratio in a cylinder can be increased by reducing the throat and inlet areas. However, the concentration is not notable at high-speed wide-open-throat conditions. A larger tumble ratio and stronger turbulent kinetic energy intensity of in-cylinder flow are beneficial to form a homogeneous mixture, which ensures a better distribution of air–fuel mixture at ignition time. Moreover, larger inlet area and smaller throat area ensure less NO emissions.
