Gasoline Direct Injection Engine

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.

Optimal Injection

With the purpose of optimizing the combustion system of a homogeneous charged gasoline direct injection engine, its working process was simulated with a 3-D CFD software package. The authors investigated the influence of injection timings and combustion chamber shapes on the charge motion, fuel injection and their influence on fuel-air mixture formation. With the comparisons of fuel-air mixture quality and combustion processes between two typical injection timings, the optimal injection strategy was chosen. To further improve the mixture quality, configuration on piston crown was optimized and analysis on mixture formation processes of the new configurations was made. Simulation results indicate that the new configurations have faster fuel evaporation rate and better mixture homogeneity.
