High Quality Multi-Zone and 3D CFD Model of Combustion in Marine Diesel Engine Cylinder

Abstract

The paper presents a 3D model of the processes taking place in the cylinder of a large 4-stroke marine engine. The model is based on CFD calculations performed on the moving mesh. The modelling range includes the full duty cycle (720° crankshaft position) and the complete geometry of the cylinder with inlet and exhaust ducts. The input data, boundary conditions and validation data were obtained by direct measurements on the real object. Fuel injection characteristics were obtained by Mie scattering measurements in a fixed-volume chamber. The modelling results have been validated in terms of the pressure characteristics of the engine’s cylinder within the entire range of its loads. The mean error did not exceed 1.42% for the maximum combustion pressure and 1.13% for the MIP (Mean Indicated Pressure). The model was also positively validated in terms of the O2 and NOx content of the exhaust gas. The mean error in this case was 1.2% for NOx fractions in the exhaust gas and 0.4% for O2 fractions. The complete model data has been made available in the research data repository on an open access basis.

A Simulation Study on a Premixed-charge Compression Ignition Mode-based Engine Using a Blend of Biodiesel/Diesel Fuel under a Split Injection Strategy

“…Through the use of convection components in the governing equations that are constructed employing the Euler reference frame, the influence of residence duration on the NOx mechanism, which is also referred to in terms of the Lagrangian reference frame idea, is shown. When taking into account the thermal as well as transient NOx process, the only solution that is needed is the NO species transportation formulation [122], [123]:…”

Role of Green Logistics in the Construction of Sustainable Supply Chains

“…As reported, the composition and degree of toxicity of exhaust gas emissions caused by vehicles are determined based on the design of the engine, the quality and the composition of the used fuel, the fuel types, and the technical conditions of vehicles [50][53][54] [55]. Due to this reason, a large number of advanced technologies relating to the use of additives or alternative fuels [56][57] [58] [59], the application of hybrid/electric vehicles [60][61] [62] [63], the improvement of the combustion process of engines [64][65][66] [67], and the application of advanced injection technology and post-treatment technology for exhaust gas [68][69] [70] have been considered as efficient solutions to reduce pollutant emissions from internal combustion enginesbased vehicles that are used for logistics activities. The fact shows that in most businesses, logistics is one of the primary areas considered for improvement with the aim of reducing costs and optimising profits [71].…”
