A novel method called high-pressure air (HPA) jet controlled compression ignition (JCCI) based on the compound thermodynamic cycle was investigated in this work. The combustion process of premixed mixture can be controlled flexibly by the high-pressure air jet compression, and it characterizes the intensified low-temperature reaction and two-stage high-temperature reaction. The three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation was employed to study the emission formation process and mechanism, and the effects of high-pressure air jet temperature and duration on emissions were also investigated. The simulation results showed that the NOx formation is mainly affected by the first-stage high-temperature reaction due to the higher reaction temperature. Overall, this combustion mode can obtain ultra-low NOx emission. The second-stage high-temperature reaction plays an important role in the CO and THC formation caused by the mixing effect of the high-pressure air and original in-cylinder mixture. The increasing air jet temperature leads to a larger high-temperature in-cylinder region and more fuel in the first-stage reaction, and therefore resulting in higher NOx emission. However, the increasing air jet temperature can significantly reduce the CO and THC emissions. For the air jet duration comparisons, both too short and too long air jet durations could induce higher NOx emission. A higher air jet duration would result in higher CO emission due to the more high-pressure air jet with relatively low temperature.
