“…In contrast, there is no commercially available software specially developed for simulating Wankel engine performance. Some attempts of creating Wankel engine simulation software were made at the period between seventies and beginning of nineties [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. However, none of them was appropriately developed to contemporary commercial level.…”

“…• Development of specific software which is usually based on detailed experimental data for some definite Wankel engine [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Taking into account the very limited available experimental database on Wankel engines, such software is usually calibrated for only one engine type and its applicability for other engines may be problematic.…”

At present the market of Wankel engines is limited to some special applications. This fact explains absence of commercial software products specially developed for this engine simulation and prediction of its performance. Conversely, there are available and widely used software products for simulation of reciprocating-piston engines performance. Some attempts are known in using this software for prediction of Wankel engine performance. This paper details an approach used in these attempts. Main differences between both types of engines are summarized and principles of a virtual reciprocating-piston engine compilation are developed. A method of virtual blowing was developed for assessment of discharge coefficients for intake and exhaust ports. Comparison of simulation results with the measured performance of two UAV Wankel engines showed sufficient accuracy of the suggested approach.

Comparatively, this review is meant to focus on possible developments studies of the rotary engine design. The controversial engine produces a direct rotational motion. Felix Wankel derived the triangular rotor shape from complex geometry of the Reuleaux triangle. The Wankel engine simulation and prediction of its performance is still limited. The current work reviews rotary engine's flow field inside the combustion chamber with different commercial software used. It studies different parameters effect on the performance of the engine, such as the effect of the recess sizes and the shape-factor. It is found that the engine chambers design is one of the aspects of improvement opportunities.
