▼ Advanced combustion strategies provide significant efficiency and emissions benefits compared to conventional
spark ignited (SI) combustion, but challenges related to combustion control and load limits have made these technologies difficult to implement in practical systems. Until now, low cost reduced order models necessary for large parametric and multi-cycle studies capable of accurately capturing the full range of combustion modes from homogeneous charge
compression ignition (HCCI) and
spark-
assisted compression ignition (
SACI) to SI have not been available. This important computational gap for advanced combustion engine research was the primary motivation for this doctoral work. The outcomes of this study include powerful new tools to evaluate advanced combustion strategies as well as novel methods to incorporate important advanced combustion characteristics into reduced order models.
A reduced order thermodynamic model of advanced
SACI combustion was first proposed. The model was used with available experimental data and previous high fidelity simulation results to develop a new empirical auto-
ignition burn rate model that captures the effects of
ignition timing, composition, temperature, pressure, engine speed, stratification and flame propagation.
A complete engine model was then developed and incorporated into the commercial simulation software GT-Power. The model included chemical kinetics for low temperature heat release and auto-
ignition detection and the empirical burn rate model for post-
ignition heat release, as well as a new flame propagation model with improved physical groundings. The calibrated engine model showed good agreement with experimental trends of HCCI,
SACI and SI combustion modes.
The engine model was then used to assess practical strategies for accessing the advanced combustion regime and improving engine efficiency. The results showed HCCI and
SACI provide a pathway for significant efficiency benefits compared to throttled SI, with efficiency improvements between 15-25% across a range of loads from 1-7 bar BMEP. Further efficiency gains appear possible beyond the experimentally observed
SACI limit.
As a further exercise, the load extension potential of boosted
SACI combustion was conceptually investigated using a simple thermodynamic framework incorporating the empirical burn rate model and practical operating constraints. The results indicate boosted
SACI can nearly double the maximum engine load compared to naturally aspirated operation.

▼ Implementation of homogeneous charge
compression ignition (HCCI) combustion in gasoline engines, while operating with improved fuel economy and reduced NOx emissions, is limited by the inability to control combustion phasing.
Spark-
assisted compression ignition (
SACI) is a mechanism that controls HCCI combustion phasing, using
spark ignition to advance the onset of
compression ignition (CI).
SACI was employed at two light-load operating points (200 kPa and 300 kPa IMEP at fueling rates of 7 and 10 mg per cycle, respectively) to advance the phasing of a marginally-stable HCCI operating point. At the lower load, stratification by means of direct injection of 3 mg fuel at the time of
spark ignition was required to advance phasing using
SACI. At the higher load, robust
SACI operation required less stratification (late injection of 1 mg). NOx emissions increased two- and four-fold in
SACI relative to HCCI operation at the lower and higher load, respectively; this increase was shown to result primarily from the stratification. This study identified two issues confounding
SACI, only observed at the lower load: cyclic variability in CI combustion phasing and inability to sufficiently advance phasing. To address these issues, new metrics were created in this study to identify four stages of the
SACI combustion process:
spark discharge, early kernel growth (EKG), flame propagation, and CI. Experiments were performed using an optical HCCI engine to simultaneously acquire steady-state emissions, in-cylinder pressure data,
spark-discharge current and voltage waveforms, images of the plasma channel, and images of combustion chemiluminescence from two orthogonal views at sub-crank-angle resolution; these measurements were used to identify the four stages for each engine cycle and thereby the cyclic variability of each stage. It was concluded that cyclic variability in the EKG, the period of low flame growth-rate and weak chemiluminescence, was the dominant cause of cyclic variability in combustion phasing. Also, findings indicated only a weak correlation between the creation of large kernels and motion of the plasma channel away from the
spark gap. At the higher load, robust flame propagation immediately followed the
spark discharge. It was inferred that local fuel/air distribution affected the transition to flame propagation.

▼ Spark Assisted Compression Ignition (
SACI) combustion has been shown to provide highly efficient, potentially low NOx operation similar to Homogeneous Charge
Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion. Direct control over
ignition timing and burn rate through
SACI operation has the ability to overcome shortcomings of HCCI operation allowing an increase in power density. Detailed
SACI models capable of capturing the charge preparation process and impact of dilution method on combustion are currently limited. The current work addresses this need by developing such a model and investigating
SACI combustion in an engine simulation.
Modeling requires valid predictions of laminar flame speeds under
SACI conditions which are not available in the literature. To address this need under highly EGR dilute, high preheat temperature
SACI conditions, laminar reaction front simulations were conducted. Moderate burning velocities were observed for EGR dilutions typical
SACI operation, provided that preheat temperatures were elevated and burned gas temperatures exceeded 1450K. For a given preheat and burned gas temperature, EGR dilution suppressed burning velocities relative to air dilution, behavior attributed to decreases in mixture oxygen. Correlations of laminar burning velocity and thickness were developed from these data.
An existing model for HCCI, SI, and
SACI combustion in KIVA-3V was extended to capture engine breathing and charge preparation by direct injection under conditions utilizing EGR dilution. The model was capable of predicting trend-wise agreement with metal engine cylinder pressure measurements for HCCI, SI, and
SACI combustion.
Analysis showed that during
SACI operation,
compression heating from reaction front heat release increased the end-gas temperature to initiate end-gas auto-
ignition, providing control over the combustion process. Manipulation of the flame heat release by varying intake temperature,
spark timing, and dilution composition allowed control over heat release rates independent of combustion phasing, reducing peak heat release rates while increasing load and efficiency. The influences on end-gas heat release rate were the total end-gas mass and the temperature stratification prior to auto-
ignition, which evolved significantly during the flame propagation phase. Insights from this work can be used to guide
SACI operating strategies to enable high efficiency engine operation at higher power density than with HCCI combustion.

▼ While Homogeneous Charge
Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is capable of highly efficient, ultra-low NOx operation, it lacks direct mechanisms for timing and burn rate control and suffers from marginal power densities. Concepts such as
Spark-
Assisted Compression Ignition (
SACI) combustion have shown the ability to partially address these shortcomings, however detailed
SACI models are currently lacking.
To address the need for reaction front data within the ultra-dilute, high pressure and preheat temperature
SACI regime, laminar premixed reaction front simulations were performed and correlations for burning velocity and front thickness were developed from the resulting dataset. Provided that preheat temperatures were elevated and that burned gas temperatures exceeded 1500 K, moderate burning velocities were observed at equivalence ratios typical of mid and high load HCCI operation. For a given burned gas temperature, burning velocities increased when moving from the SI to the
SACI combustion regime, i.e. towards higher dilution and higher pre-heat temperatures.
Given the proximity of
SACI pre-heat temperatures to the
ignition temperature, additional simulations examined the combustion regime, structure and general behavior of the reaction front as it propagated into an auto-igniting end-gas. While significant increases in burning velocity accompanied the transition from deflagrative to chemically dominated combustion, the reaction front contributed minimally to end-gas consumption once end-gas temperatures exceeded 1100 K.
A model capable of capturing SI,
SACI and HCCI combustion modes was formulated and implemented into KIVA-3V. Using the correlated laminar flame speed data, the model was capable of predicting trend-wise agreement with cylinder pressure and imaging data from an optical
SACI engine. The simulated presence of flame surface density suggests that although the simulated reaction fronts are ultra-dilute, they are nevertheless within the flamelet regime during the deflagration portion of
SACI combustion. End-gas auto-
ignition occurred when the charge
compression heating from boundary work and reaction front heat release combined to drive the end-gas to its
ignition temperature, providing additional latitude for the execution and control of low temperature combustion processes. Additional simulations were performed to assess the ability of this additional deflagrative combustion mode to enable high efficiency operation with elevated work output relative to HCCI combustion.

▼ Turbulent Jet Ignition (TJI) is an advanced ignition process where ultra-lean mixtures can ignite in standard gasoline spark ignition engine. In this research, a TJI unit by Mahle Powertrain USA was adopted and studied in a bespoke single-cylinder engine with optical acess. The TJI device features a very small pre-chamber that is connected to the main chamber by multiple small orifices and can be separately fuelled by a direct fuel injector. The spark plug shifts from the main chamber to the pre-chamber to ignite the pre-chamber mixture. A new cylinder head was designed and manufactured to accommodate the TJI unit and optical windows on the top and sides of the cylinder head block. A new direct inejector (DI) fuel supply system was set up for direct fuel injection in the pre-chamber. A new engine control and a data system were commissioned and used for engine experiments and heat release analysis. High-speed combustion imaging and spectroscopic techniques were developed to study the ignition and combustion in the main chamber through high-speed cameras and spectrographic equipment. Thermodynamic studies on TJI combustion in a single-cylinder engine demonstrate the ability of TJI to extend the lean-burn limit of gasoline operation at different engine speeds and loads. Similar effects are also observed with engine operations fuelled with ethanol and wet-ethanol. TJI exerts the greatest effect in extending the lean-burn limit of ethanol fuel and leads to near-zero NOx emissions near the lean-burn limit. In addition, the TJI ethanol engine operation has higher thermal efficiency as well as lower HC and CO emissions than the gasoline operation. Spectroscopic results reveal that ethanol combustion produces higher chemiluminescent emissions than gasoline during the normal spark ignition combustion in the main chamber. The OH spectral peak at 310 nm is the highest throughout the ignition and combustion, followed by CH emission at 430 nm and HCO at 330 nm. Their intensities peak before the maximum heat release rates measured by the in-cylinder pressure. Emission spectra produced by the pre-chamber ignition are stronger than the normal spark ignition in the main chamber. The highest emission intensities are observed with the fuelled pre-chamber ignition even with leaner air–fuel mixture in the main chamber. As pre-chamber fuel is increased, the pre-chamber pressure rises faster to a higher peak value, producing greater pressure differential between the pre-chamber and main chamber and faster turbulent jets of partially burned products at higher temperature. The increase in the pre-chamber pressure causes the jets to travel deeper into the main chamber and enlarges the ignition sites. In addition, the ignition delay of the main chamber combustion is shortened due to the higher temperature of turbulent jets, as indicated by the stonger emission spectra. The turbulent ignition jets of ethanol are characterised with greater momentum than gasoline due to the faster combustion speed of ethanol and higher energy input. When the…

▼ In this dissertation, some practical
ignition techniques are presented that show how some problems of lean-burn combustion can be overcome. Then, to shed light on the effects of the
ignition techniques described, the focus shifts to the more specific problem of the early phase of
spark ignition. Thermal models of
ignition are reviewed. These models treat the energy provided by the electrical discharge as a point source, delivered infinitely fast and creating a spherically symmetric
ignition kernel. The thesis challenges the basis of these thermal models by reviewing the work of many investigators who have clearly shown that the temporal characteristics of the discharge have a profound effect upon
ignition. Photographic evidence of the early phase of
ignition, as well as other evidence from the literature, is also presented. The evidence clearly demonstrates that the morphology of
spark kernels in the early phase of development is toroidal, not spherical as suggested by thermal models. A new perspective for
ignition, a fluid dynamic point of view, is described. The common
ignition devices are then classified according to fluid dynamics. A model describing the behaviour of
spark kernels is presented, which extends a previously established mixing model for plasma jets, to the realm of conventional axial discharges. Comparison of the model behaviour to some limited data is made. The model is modified by including the effect of heat addition from combustion, and
ignition criteria are discussed.

▼ The implementation of homogeneous charge
compression ignition (HCCI) in an engine remains a challenge due to the limited operating range and lack of a direct
ignition timing control mechanism.
Spark assisted compression ignition (
SACI) has been shown by several research groups, including the work presented here, to provide such a mechanism, helping to control the phasing and stability of a primarily auto-igniting charge, as well as provide a means of extending the high load limit of HCCI while maintaining high thermal efficiency. The approach used in this study is unique in that flexible engine valve timing allowed for independent control of the thermal/compositional stratification associated with a large internal residual fraction, allowing its effect to be isolated from other thermophysical parameters. In these experiments, a single-cylinder engine equipped with fully-flexible valve actuation was used to explore the effects of
spark assist in controlling peak heat release rates. With
spark assist, a small portion of the heat release occurred via flame propagation, increasing the overall duration of the combustion event and dramatically reducing peak rates of heat release. At constant engine load and combustion phasing, peak heat release rates were reduced by 40% by controlling
spark timing and unburned gas temperature via changes in internal and external EGR rates. Internal EGR was adjusted by varying the duration of negative valve overlap (NVO); for the range of NVO investigated, potential variations in in-cylinder mixing and thermal/compositional stratification were found to have a weak effect on burn characteristics, confirming the notion that temperature and
spark timing are the primary variables affecting
SACI burn rates for a fixed mixture composition. In the experiments, heat release analysis showed that the behavior of
SACI was consistent with the theoretical kinetics associated with turbulent flame propagation and auto-
ignition, supporting the hypothesis that
SACI is essentially two distinct energy release events coupled by
compression heating from an expanding flame front. The results of this work provide new insights into the physical and chemical mechanisms important during low temperature combustion. The results confirm proposed representations of
SACI, and thereby provide direction for developing new advanced low temperature engine strategies.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Mechanical Engineering 2019.
In the first part of this work, ignition of methane-air mixtures under excess air dilution is studied. When excess air is used in SI engine operation, thermal efficiency is increased due to increase in compression ratio together with reduced pumping and heat loses. However, stable operation with excess air is challenging due to poor flammability of the resulting diluted mixture. Hence in order to achieve stable and complete combustion a turbulent jet ignition (TJI) system is used to improve combustion of lean methane-air mixtures. Various nozzle designs and operating strategies for a TJI system were tested in a rapid compression machine. 10-90% burn duration measurements were useful in assessing the performance of the nozzle designs while the 0-10% burn durations indicated if optimal air-fuel ratio is achieved within the pre-chamber at the time of ignition. The results indicated that distributed-jets TJI system offered faster and stable combustion while the concentrated-jets TJI system offered better dilution tolerance.Knock in a SI engine occurs due to autoignition of the end gas mixture and typically occurs in the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) region of the fuel-air mixture. Dilution of intake charge with cold exhaust recirculation gases (EGR) reduces combustion temperatures and decreases mixture reactivity thereby reducing knocking tendency. This enables optimal spark timings to be used, thereby increasing efficiency of SI engines which would otherwise be knock limited. Effect of cold EGR dilution is studied in the RCM by measuring the autoignition delay times of gasoline and gasoline surrogate mixtures diluted with varying levels of CO2. The autoignition experiments in the RCM were performed using a novel direct test chamber (DTC) charge preparation approach. The DTC approach enabled mixture preparation directly within the combustion chamber and eliminated the need for mixing tanks. Effect of CO2 dilution in retarding the autoignition delay times was more pronounced in the NTC region, while it was weaker in the low temperature and high temperature regions. The retarding effect was found to be dependent on both the octane number and the fuel composition of the gasoline being studied.Finally, the effect of substituting ethanol(biofuel) in gasoline surrogates for up to 40% by volume is studied. Ethanol is an octane booster, but it blends antagonistically with aromatics such as toluene and synergistically with alkanes with respect to the resulting octane number of the blends. In order to study this blending effect, two gasoline surrogates containing only alkanes (PRF), and alkanes with large amounts of toluene (TRF) are blended with varying levels of ethanol. The ignition delay times of the resulting mixtures are measured in a rapid compression machine and kinetic analysis was carried out using numerical simulations. The kinetic analysis revealed that ethanol controlled the final stages of ignition for the PRF blends when more than 10%…

▼ Numerous physical and chemical processes are required for successful
ignition of a flammable mixture, many of which have been well characterized. However, one aspect of the
ignition process that has received limited consideration is understanding the temperature of the
spark kernel. A
spark kernel is the volume of heated gas that develops after plasma formation and dissipation by an electrical discharge. Thermal measurements are critical for determining if reactions become self-sustaining and improving the validity of modeling efforts. The need for quantified kernel temperatures is extended to conditions that approach the flow fields within combustion applications, such as gas turbine engines. Based on the motivation, the focus of this work was to determine the temperature of kernels and investigate the influence a cross-flow has on the temporal temperature evolution. Representative results were compared against kernel temperatures in a quiescent environment to highlight differences between the two flow conditions. In this study, a sunken fire igniter was placed in an open loop wind tunnel and discharged into a non-reacting cross-flow. Kernel temperatures, after the plasma dissipated, were determined from radiation intensity measurements and by solving the radiation transfer equation. The temperature evolution was investigated in a quiescent environment and for a range of cross-flow velocities (5.8-15.6 m/s). For both quiescent and cross-flow conditions, kernels developed into a toroidal vortex. Surrounding air was entrained into the center of the kernel, resulting in relatively lower temperatures compared to the edges. Average peak kernel temperatures in quiescent conditions were 950 K, whereas kernels in a cross-flow approached 1250 K. The higher peak temperatures were attributed to a reduced relative velocity of the vortex caused by the interaction with the cross-flow. This resulted in decreased entrainment, particularly located at the upstream side of the kernel. Most of the temperature evolution of kernels was experienced within 1.3 ms after plasma was no longer detected; up to a 500 K difference was determined between 0.6 and 1.3 ms. Kernels beyond 1.3 ms reached a uniform temperature near 600 K and had little to no variation as radiation intensities dissipated beyond optical detection. Bifurcation of kernels was detected in one-third of all
spark events for both quiescent and cross-flow conditions. The sensible energy of kernels was reported to decrease with time for all cases. Higher cross-flow velocities resulted in less sensible energy. This was attributed to a reduction in apparent kernel volume even with higher temperatures.

Investigation of Combustion Characteristics of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Retrofitted to Natural Gas Spark Ignition Operation.

▼ The conversion of existing diesel engines to natural-gas
spark ignition operation by adding a gas injector in the intake manifold for fuel delivery and replacing the diesel fuel injector with a
spark plug to initiate and control the combustion process can reduce U.S. dependence on petroleum imports and curtail engine-out emissions. As the conventional diesel combustion chamber (i.e., flat head and bowl-in-piston) creates high turbulence, the engine can operate leaner, which would increase its efficiency and reduce emissions. However, natural gas combustion in such retrofitted engines presents differences compared to that in conventional
spark ignited engines. Subsequently, the main goal of this study was to investigate the characteristics of natural gas combustion inside a diesel-like, fast-burn combustion chamber using a unique array of experimental and numerical tools. The experimental platform consisted of a heavy-duty single-cylinder diesel engine converted to natural-gas
spark ignition and operated at a low-speed, lean equivalence ratio, and medium-load condition. The engine can also operate in an optical configuration (i.e., the stock piston and cylinder block can be replaced with a see-through piston and an extended cylinder block), which was used to visualize flame behavior. The optical data indicated a thick and fast-propagated flame in the piston bowl but slower flame propagation inside the squish region. In addition, a 3D numerical model of the optical engine was built to better explain the geometry effects. The simulation results suggested that while the region around the
spark plug location experienced a moderate turbulence that helped with the
ignition process, the interaction of squish, piston motion, and intake swirl created a highly-turbulent environment that favored the fast burn inside the bowl and stabilized the combustion process. However, the squish region experienced a much lower turbulence, which, combined with the reduced temperature and pressure during the expansion stroke and its higher surface-to-volume ratio, reduced the burning velocity and the flame propagation, but also avoided knocking. Consequently, the bowl-in-piston geometry separated the lean-burn natural gas combustion into two distinct events. To extend the optical findings, the metal engine configuration was used to investigate the effects of gas composition,
spark timing, equivalence ratio, and engine speed on the two-stage combustion. The results suggested that operating conditions controlled the magnitude and phasing of the two combustion events. Moreover, 3D CFD simulations of the metal engine configuration showed that the squish region contained an important mixture fraction that would burn much slower and can increase the phasing separation between the two combustion events to a point that a second peak would appear in the heat release rate. Moreover, the rapid-burn event in such an engine was much shorter compared to its traditional definition (i.e., the time in crank angle degrees between the 10% and 90%…

▼ Among the range of commercially feasible propulsion systems,
compression ignition (CI) engines present many advantages for light-duty vehicle operation. In particular, CI engines remain an optimal choice for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed to operate at moderate flight speeds. However, one of the primary limitations of CI engines is that they require well-characterized, highly-reactive diesel fuel to operate properly. As the United States Department of Defense implements the single fuel concept and with global efforts to develop alternatively derived fuels, it is paramount that modern CI engines have the capability to perform with a diverse variety of fuel types. At its core, this challenge can be framed as an
ignition problem, where low reactivity fuels and extreme operating conditions result in long
ignition delays, engine misfires, and power loss. It is for this reason that novel
ignition devices be developed to support reliable CI engine operation. Hot surface energy addition devices are a promising technology to improve
ignition behavior, but the mechanisms by which the heating element supports the
ignition process are not well understood.
This study evaluates the performance and limitations of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) heating elements in functioning as continuous-use
ignition devices for kerosene-fueled CI engines. Furthermore, it examines the interaction between a single high-pressure fuel spray with a hot surface device in order to identify the most important parameters for optimizing
ignition behavior. Results of these experiments demonstrate that existing heating elements can accelerate the
ignition process for fuels with a wide range of reactivities, assuming a sufficient surface temperature can be achieved. Reaching these temperatures in an engine environment and maintaining these temperatures for long periods of operation, with acceptable heating element durability, will be the primary challenges in developing next-generation
ignition systems.

▼ The thrust toward improving vehicle fuel economy has stimulated the development of engine technologies including Variable
Compression Ratio (VCR) piston designs. Pressure Reactive Piston (PRP) technology separates the piston into two pieces with a spring set located between the upper and lower pistons. The unique feature of PRP is that the upper piston reacts to the cylinder pressure during the power stroke, accommodating rapid engine load changes passively. This mechanism effectively limits the peak cylinder pressures at high loads without an additional control device, while allowing high
compression ratio under low loads. The maximum
compression ratio without knocking was examined, and the preload and spring constant of spring set were obtained by using a quasi-dimensional simulation program. Belleville spring was selected as the spring set of the PRP because of its compactness and ability to carry high load with small deflection. Dynamic analysis of the piston crown was performed to calculate spring deflection and instantaneous chamber volume. The baseline and PRP engine were tested on single cylinder SI engine. Dynamometer test results demonstrated that BSFC improvement of the PRP engine over the baseline ranged from 8 to 18% at part loads. Full load torque was developed with the PRP engine without knocking at a similar magnitude as the baseline. The PRP engine combustion is characterized by Reverse and Flattened Motion of piston crown near the Top Dead Center (TDC) and higher thermal efficiency. An analytic model for the geometric interaction between the spherical flame and the combustion chamber was newly developed in order to calculate the flame entrainment rate of unburned charge. The program was modified for simulating PRP motion to investigate the effect of the spring set on engine performance and emissions over various operating conditions. It was found that BSFC improvement of the PRP engine increased with engine speed and fuel conversion efficiency was gradually increased with the increase of the spring set preload until the spring set could not be compressed any more due to high preload. However, NO emissions were increased at part loads compared to the baseline due to higher
compression ratio.

▼ An attempt has been undertaken to enhance turbulence in an S.I. engine at the final stage of the compression stroke, without affecting the intake process. The method employed to control the turbulence level made use of an original design called the squish-jet combustion chamber. The design had potential to generate jets in the chamber before CTDC and thus create dramatically different turbulent flow patterns. Natural gas, a slow burning fuel, was used for performance tests, and different levels of turbulence were expected to markedly affect the combustion process.
A flow visualization experiment was performed under conditions similar to a motored engine. As a result, the jet development in the squish-jet type combustion chamber was documented.
A new type of a flat cylinder head, and a set of squish-jet pistons were designed and manufactured. Experiments conducted on the redesigned Ricardo Hydra, single cylinder research engine, evaluated the influence of the squish-jet chamber on the mixture motion and the engine performance
over a wide range of operating conditions. The jet velocities were measured with a hot wire probe located in the piston bowl, and turbulence parameters with a probe inserted through a cylinder head. The squish-jet design was evaluated for 6 different configurations.
As a result it has been established that the squish-jet design does not create jets strong enough to dramatically enhance the turbulent flow field. The design, however, diminished the squish effect which is shown to be very important for the middle part of flame development. The simple squish design produces faster burning rate in the first half of the combustion process and develops the highest peak pressures. Variabilities of both cyclic IMEP and peak pressure are found to be unaffected by the presence or absence of strong squish motion. This suggests that the most important phase of combustion for the cyclic variation is the initial stage of the flame development. A comparison of ensembled pressure signals between combustion chamber designs, conducted at RAFR=1.00 and at RAFR=1.25 shows less dispersion in the latter case. It appears that at lean operation mixture motion influences combustion process to a lesser degree than at stochiometric conditions.

▼ The four phases of a
spark ignition discharge are reviewed with respect to
the physics and chemistry involved. An equation based on the energy exchange at
the cathode spot is presented to calculate the arc-to-glow transition. The effects
of
spark duration in a direct injection engine with a stratified and homogeneous
injection strategy are investigated. The optimum
spark duration to minimize the
COV of IMEP is found to be a function of the engine speed only. The effect of
energy deposition at the optimum
spark duration has a negligible effect on the
COV of IMEP. Plasma chemistry is developed and validated with high
temperature equilibrium concentrations. Simulations prove that recombination
plays an important role to sustain the high temperature of the plasma when it is
cooled down. The recombination permits sustaining a higher temperature and for
a longer period of time than flame chemistry only can achieve. Excessive
computational time for the chemistry made me simplified the model to one
dimension

▼ Le fonctionnement en régime très pauvre ou avec forts taux d'EGR des moteurs à allumage commandé (MAC) permet de réduire efficacement les émissions de CO2 et de Nox ; cependant ces stratégies se heurtent à l'augmentation des variabilités cycliques. Ces dernières sont principalement dues à la phase d'allumage qui devient critique de dilution. Le modèle ECFM-LES actuellement utilisé à IFPEn, basé sur la notion de densité de surface de flamme, est insuffisant pour décrire l'allumage dans ces conditions critiques. Dans ces travaux, l'approche TF-LES est adoptée, l'allumage étant alors décrit par un emballement cinétique des réactions chimiques lors d'une élévations locale de la température. Ces travaux définissent et évaluent une stratégie de simulation pour TF-LES en configuration moteur, qui permette une prédiction fine des allumages critiques et de la propagation turbulente de la flamme, afin de décrire le cycle moteur complet.Dans une première partie, des DNS d'allumages turbulents ont été réalisées, en modélisant la phase d'allumage par un dépôt d'énergie thermique (Lacaze et al., (2009)). Les calculs ont simulé les expériences d'allumage de Cardin et al. (2013), dans lesquelles l'énergie minimum d'allumage (MIE) d'un mélange mtéhane-air a été mesuré, pour différentes richesses pauvres et sous différentes intensités turbulentes. L'objectif principal des simulations a été de déterminer les paramètres numériques et physiques du modèle permettant de reproduire les allumages de l'expérience. Deux types de schémas cinétiques ont été évalués : un schéma simplifié et un schéma analytique (ARC), ce dernier reproduisant et les délais d'auto-allumage et la vitesse de flamme laminaire. Les résultats ont permis de définir des critères d'allumage et de mettre en évidence les différentes prédiction d'allumage avec les deux types de schémas cinétiques. Les résultats ont été également démontré que l'approche choisie permettait de prédire les bons niveaux d'énergie pour les allumages laminaires et à faible nombres de Kalovitz (Ka<10). Aux plus hauts nombres de Karlovitz, il a été montré que le modèle ED était insuffisant pour prédire les énergie d'allumage et qu'une description plus fine du dépôt d'énergie est nécessaire.Dans la seconde partie des travaux, un modèle de plissement dynamique (Wang et al., 2012) a été étudié, afin de décrire le développement hors-équilibre de la flamme dans la phase de propagation turbulente. Des études sur des flammes sphériques laminaires ont d'abord été menées. Ensuite, les premiers tests de configuration moteur ayant révélé des incompatibilités du modèle, des modifications ont été proposées. Le modèle de plissement dynamique modifié a été finalement évalué sur la configuration moteur ICAMDAC. Les résultats obtenus ont été comparés aux résultats obtenus par Robert et al. (2015) avec le modèle ECFM-LES, qui utilise une équation de transport de densité de surface de flamme décrivant le plissement hors-équilibre de la flamme. Les résultats obtenus avec le plissement dynamique sont en très bon accord…

▼ In view of the declining global oil reserves and the
environmental concerns associated with automotive emissions, it is
imperative to improve the fuel efficiency of engines. Using higher
compression ratios or boosting the specific output through
turbocharging are proven strategies to accomplish this goal.
However, the ability to achieve elevated peak pressures required by
either mechanism to be effective is limited by knock. The lack of
understanding of knock also hinders the realization of potential
benefits of homogeneous charge
compression ignition, a promising
technology that relies on controlled autoignition. Thus, knock is
one of the most serious obstacles in the development of fuel
efficient engines. For this reason, the phenomenon of knock has
been studied extensively, but even after more than a century of
mostly experimental research, the basic mechanism governing knock
remains poorly understood. In order to develop a fundamental
understanding of engine knock, detailed chemical kinetic modeling
of the hydrocarbon oxidation mechanism associated with the
autoignition process is conducted in CHEMKIN (a chemical kinetics
software). Based on the insight gained from kinetic modeling, some
of the key reactions and species that are instrumental to the
autoignition of hydrocarbons are identified. The sensitivity of
knock to various parameters including inlet pressure, inlet
temperature,
compression ratio, wall temperature, fuel-air
equivalence ratio, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is examined
through CHEMKIN simulations.
Ignition delay predictions for the
autoignition of a toluene reference fuel (TRF) blend with an
antiknock index of 91 (TRF 91), obtained through extensive chemical
kinetic modeling in CHEMKIN for a constant volume reactor, are used
to develop an improved
ignition delay correlation for predicting
knock in
spark ignition (SI) engines. In addition to NOx control,
EGR is increasingly being utilized for managing combustion phasing
in SI engines to mitigate knock. Therefore, along with other
operating parameters, the effects of EGR on autoignition are
incorporated into the correlation to address the need for
predicting
ignition delay in SI engines operating with EGR. The
modeling approach adopted for TRF 91 is then extended to develop an
ignition delay correlation for an oxygenated surrogate fuel blend
of 87 octane gasoline (with 10% ethanol). In addition, a
conceptually new approach based on multiple timescales is developed
to predict
ignition delay for the autoignition of a primary
reference fuel blend. Finally, the new
ignition delay correlation
for TRF 91 is implemented into the engine simulation tool GT-POWER
and engine dynamometer experiments with knocking combustion are
conducted to validate the knock predictions from the correlation.
Comparison of knock onset predictions from GT-POWER with engine
experiments illustrates the accuracy of the TRF 91
ignition delay
correlation. Hence, the contributions of the present study include
an enhanced understanding of the underlying physics governing…

▼ [EN] In the current work, the characterization of the combustion process inside a stratified pre-chamber
spark ignition (PCSI) system is performed. An extensive bibliographical review about the pre-chamber systems developed from the second half of the 20th century until modern times is presented. The review shows that the latest generation systems have the potential to accomplish the emissions limits while providing high performance and low fuel consumption. Nevertheless, many efforts of the scientific community are still needed to allow the large-scale application of the technology. Indeed, based on the outstanding challenges observed, the investigation plan is developed including both experimental and numerical parts. All experiments were performed by means of the rapid compressionexpansion machine (RCEM) in the CMT-Motores Térmicos laboratory. The original cylinder head layout was modified to allow the housing of the prechamber itself, fuel injectors,
spark plug, pressure transducers in both chamber, and a thermocouple. The test methodology involved the acquisition of the pressure evolution in both main chamber and pre-chamber, the piston position (used to compute the instantaneous cylinder volume), the duration of the auxiliary injection, and the
spark ignition point. These are used as input for the zero-dimensional thermodynamic model which simulates the fundamental parameters aims to characterize the PCSI system working cycle. Therefore, a deeper knowledge of the mass interchanged process, induced turbulence field, heat release rate, combustion speed, and flame regime is generated. Subsequently, to calibrate the zero-dimensional model coefficients under motoring conditions, several 3D CFD simulations were carried out by means of Converge software. Hence, the results of the simulations in terms of interchanged mass and pre-chamber turbulent kinetic energy have been used to calibrate the nozzle discharge coefficient and the turbulence sub-model coefficients for all the pre-chamber geometries. Furthermore, the 3D CFD simulations outputs are analysed to fully understand the flow field structure and the local effect induced by the different nozzles at the
spark activation time. The turbulent kinetic energy in terms of intensity and orientation is investigated over several relevant pre-chamber sections. The results reveal a clear relationship between the turbulence developed within the pre-chamber and the orifices structure. Straight orifices or perpendicular jets impact, promote more intense local turbulence due to direct collision while tilted orifices guarantee more homogeneity due to the swirling motion. Additionally, increase the orifice numbers shows benefits on the fluid dynamic homogeneity. Thus, preceding the experimental campaign several fundamental aspects of the system are evaluated. The cycle-to-cycle dispersion is explored by means of the statistical assessment showing low pressure peak deviation. The auxiliary injection pressure and timing are optimized for avoiding wall wetting phenomena while…

▼ [EN] Internal combustion engines are in a situation in which they must be cleaner and more efficient than they have ever been. This change is motivated by the global and continuous evolution of the emissions regulations linked to their commercialization, which try to establish the path to protect the human health, and move towards more sustainable energetic models.
Framed in this context, the research work developed in this PhD thesis has focused on the way to continue improving the
spark ignition engines. To this end, a prototype two-stroke engine has been used, with the idea of studying the
Spark Ignited combustion in lean conditions ('lean SI') and the Controlled Auto-
Ignition combustion 'CAI'). In this way, the traditional 'SI' operation in stoichiometric conditions of this type of engines is replaced, looking for an improvement in fuel efficiency, and a reduction, at the same time, of the pollutant emissions.
This work has been approached mainly from an experimental point of view. Firstly, different works have been performed on the engine: operation of the different combustion modes, definition of the operating strategies, and compilation of experimental data coming from the engine operation in the different regions of the engine map. And, secondly, all this data has been analyzed and studied in detail to define the strengths and weaknesses of each combustion mode applied to the different engine operating conditions.
The combination of these two works has led to obtain a large amount of data about the achievable efficiencies and the emissions values obtained in each combustion mode. And, in addition, the influence on the combustion of the burned gases recirculation in the engine ('EGR'), has also been studied as a strategy to reduce emissions, and control the combustion at high loads in both combustion modes.
Regarding the analytical part of the work, several problems have been detected. Firstly, the high combustion variability in this engine, and secondly, the coupling of two completely different combustion modes. These issues have generated the need to analyze the data obtained in a more detailed way, in order to get more information about the combustion process. To solve these two aspects, first, a different point of view has been raised when dealing with the combustion diagnosis, the cycle to cycle analysis, and secondly, a combustion analysis methodology has been proposed in order to allow the combustion analysis from a more detailed point of view. In this way the combustion development is studied, and thus, the differentiation between the different combustion events that take place in the engine can be studied.
All this work has been useful to define the strategies to operate the whole engine map by combining the 'lean SI' and 'CAI' combustion modes. This solution, compared to the current Euro VI engines, has presented higher efficiency values complying with the established emissions limits, showing in this way, the high potential of these combustion modes applied to 'SI' engines, as well as a real…

▼ Homogeneous Charge
Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is an alternative combustion mode in which the fuel is homogeneously mixed with air and is auto-ignited by
compression. Due to charge homogeneity, this mode is characterized by low equivalence ratios and temperatures giving simultaneously low nitric oxide (NOx) and soot in diesel engines. The conventional problem of NOx-soot trade-off is avoided in this mode due to absence of diffusion combustion. This mode can be employed at part load conditions while maintaining conventional combustion at high load thus minimizing regulatory cycle emissions and reducing cost of after-treatment systems. The present study focuses on achieving this mode in a turbocharged, common rail, direct injection, four-cylinder, heavy duty diesel engine. Specifically, the work involves a combination of three-dimensional CFD simulations and experiments on this engine to assess both traditional and novel strategies related to fuel injection.
The first phase of the work involved a quasi-dimensional simulation of the engine to assess potential of achieving HCCI. This was done using a zero-dimensional, single-zone HCCI combustion model with n-heptane skeletal chemistry along with a one-dimensional model of intake and exhaust systems. The feasibility of operation with realistic knock values with high EGR rate of 60% was observed. The second aspect of the work involved three-dimensional CFD simulations of the in-cylinder process with wall film prediction to evaluate injection strategies associated with Early Direct Injection (EDI). The extended Coherent Flame Model-3Zone (ECFM-3Z) was employed for combustion simulation of conventional CI and EDI, and was validated with experimental in-cylinder pressure data from the engine. A new Uniformity Index (UI) parameter was defined to assess charge homogeneity. Results showed significant in-homogeneity and presence of wall film for EDI. Simulations were conducted to assess improvement of charge homogeneity by several strategies; narrow spray cone angle, injection timing, multiple injections, intake air heating, Port Fuel Injection (PFI) as well as combination of PFI and EDI. The maximum UI achieved by EDI was 0.78. The PFI strategy could achieve UI of 0.95; however, up to 50% of fuel remained trapped in the port after valve closure. This indicated that except EDI, none of the above-mentioned strategies could help achieve the benefits of the HCCI mode.
The third part of the work involved engine experimentation to assess the EDI strategy. This strategy produced lower soot than that of conventional CI combustion with very short combustion duration, but led to high knock and NOx which is attributed to pool fire burning phenomenon of the wall film, as confirmed by CFD. An Optimized EDI (OptimEDI) strategy was then developed based on results of CFD and Design of Experiments. The Optim EDI consisted of triple injections with split ratio of 41%-45%-14% and advancing the first injection. This strategy gave 20% NOx and soot reduction over the conventional CI…

▼ Improving vehicle efficiency is a substantial way to reduce CO
2 emissions from the transportation sector. The most limiting factor of
spark ignition (SI) gasoline engine efficiency is the phenomenon known as knocking. The current methods to characterize fuel knock resistance are with the Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON) methods. However, it has been shown that these engine-based test methods do not directly predict knock resistance in modern direct injection (DI) gasoline engines, especially under boosted conditions. Alternative test devices have been used to more directly study
ignition kinetics. Constant volume combustion chambers (CVCCs) have been used to obtain valuable autoignition data at a broader ranger of pressure and temperature conditions than the single point engine operating conditions of the RON and MON tests. This study uses a new CVCC to study gasoline range fuels at engine relevant conditions to collect autoignition data on a set of simple gasoline surrogate fuels and correlate these data to the fuel chemistry and properties. A set of nine gasoline surrogates, with and without oxygenates were tested in the Advanced Fuel
Ignition Delay Analyzer (AFIDA). The main outputs of this study are 3D surfaces of autoignition (
ignition delay time) as a function of pressure and temperature. These data more completely characterize
ignition delay at a wide range of engine relevant conditions, providing more insight than the RON and MON tests. Linear regression was performed between the
ignition delay time and the fuel composition and properties, however significant correlations were not found. This study paves the way for more complex, full-boiling range gasoline fuels to be characterized in the AFIDA, fuels which are too complex to model with chemical kinetics.

▼ High dilution combustion is a promising technology to continue improving gasoline
spark-
ignition (SI) engine fuel conversion efficiency and for the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions. Dilution is principally limited in SI engines by
ignition, flame kernel development, successful transition to the turbulent propagating flame during the bulk burn portion of combustion process and the resulting combustion stability. However, the SI gasoline turbocharged directed injection (GTDI) engine
ignition requirements, especially at the combustion stability limit, are not well understood and must be better characterized to enable improved designs.
A multi-discharge, electronically control, inductive
ignition system was employed on a multi-cylinder GTDI engine to control and quantify the
ignition and combustion processes under high dilution operation. The
ignition system, developed by Ford Motor Company and integrated on the engine, is a Variable Output
Ignition System (VOIS) enabling flexible
spark discharge patterns with control of
ignition energy, duration, and phasing. In this study two coil discharges were examined under both continuous and discontinuous settings by delaying the second discharge with respect to the first.
Ignition secondary voltage and current were measured with a high speed analog to digital recorder to measure and quantify the breakdown voltages,
ignition duration,
ignition energy, and other
ignition metrics over 300 cycles of continuous engine operation. Simultaneously 300 cycles of crank-angle resolved cylinder pressure and other data was recorded to analyze cycle based work and combustion rates and to correlate
ignition with combustion.
With respect to
ignition analysis and correlations, the results show that the breakdown voltage of the second discharge was correlated to the second coil discharge timing. The second breakdown voltage increased when the second coil discharge timing was retarded. It was also found that the glow energy was highly correlated to the
ignition duration on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The
ignition duration decreases with higher
ignition voltages during glow discharge giving higher total glow energy as a result of hypothesized arc stretching.
With respect to
ignition and combustion correlations, the flame kernel development period was found to be weakly correlated to both the
ignition duration and energy. The breakdown and arc energy of the second discharge had higher correlation to the combustion phasing than the glow energy of the second discharge.
With respect to engine performance in a dual-coil multi-discharge
ignition, an optimal
ignition energy phase delay time exists with a fixed total
ignition energy. A delayed second coil discharge at the dilution limit can convert abnormal combustion cycles to normal burn cycles. The combustion phasing of these converted cycles is dependent on the phasing of the second discharge. The results also showed that combustion phasing was strongly correlated to the flame kernel development period. The gross…
