Diesel-Combustion Modeling for Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

General overview of the combustion models for a diesel engine is described. The details of auto-ignition and mixing controlled combustion models are explained, especially focused on the available ranges of these models from the viewpoint of the ratio between chemical reaction rate and turbulent mixing rate and non-homogeneity of the mixture. In addition, a diesel auto-ignition model is explained, which is based on the auto-ignition process of non-homogeneous mixture.
