An intake port for Range Extender engine has been developed using CFD technique. Three dimensional intake port model has been built and computational analysis has been performed. Computed non-dimensional flow coefficient, swirl ratio and swirl number have been compared with the experimental result. Convex and concave curvature of the intake port have been optimized to reduce recirculation flow and flow resistance. Finally, the mean flow coefficient is 0.383 and the mean swirl number is 1.544. The intake port shows relatively excellent performance compared with those of general 2 valve engine system intake ports.

Most jet spray and atomization simulations are done with the Eulerian method which has inherent disadvantage in representing jet breakups and droplets. Full Lagrangian particles method called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) is used in this work. We develop the SPH code and perform validations that confirm the suitability of our SPH method for simulating liquid jet atomization problem. Then, we conduct the simulation of liquid-liquid swirl coaxial injector for comparison against the experimental data.

Since the characteristics of combustion and pollutant in Diesel engines were mainly affected by the characteristics of in-cylinder gas flow and fuel spray, an understanding of those was essential to the design of the D.I. Diesel engines. The improvement of volumetric efficiency of air charging into combustion chamber is a primary requirement to obtain better mean effective pressure of an engine. Since the air resistances in intake and exhaust flow passages, valve lift and valve shape influence greatly to the volumetric efficiency, it is very important to investigate the flow characteristics of intake and exhaust port which develops air motion in the combustion chamber. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of steady flow through the various kinds of commercial cylinder head ports, and the development procedures of HHI's H21/32 prototype cylinder head ports.

본 연구에서는 허브 대 팁의 비가 큰 원심형 압축기의 성능시험을 수행하였으며, 이를 수치해석 결과와 비교하였다. 압력비의 경우 작동 회전수에서 성능시험과 수치해석의 결과의 경향이 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 성능시험에서 임펠러의 성능은 매우 높게 나타났으나, 1단 및 2단 디퓨져에서 손실이 발생하여 전체적인 압력비 및 효율이 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 수치해석을 통해 내부 유동장을 확인한 결과 1단 디퓨져 및 2단 디스월러에서 격렬한 2차 유동으로 인한 유로차폐효과가 주 손실원인임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents characteristics of steady flow by variation of a combustion chamber and an intake port. Gas flow field inside a combustion chamber is the important factor in improving combustion stability and reduction of emission level. The flow characteristics such as flow coefficient, tumble ratio and swirl ratio are measured by the steady flow rig test with an impulse meter in this study. In the measuring, the valve lifts are varied between 1mm to 10mm. The three combustion chambers and two intake ports were applied to the steady flow apparatus in order to investigate the effect of swirl and tumble on the in-cylinder flow. As a result, tumble ratio were found to be different by variation of the combustion chambers and the intake ports. The data from the present study can be applied to design of a similar engine as basic data.

This paper addresses the analysis of the combustion characteristics in the oil burner using swirl flow. The reduction of exhaust emissions and high efficiency combustion techniques of the industrial burner have been studied to conserve environmental resources. We make swirl burner equal to dimension of wide burner and it is turn round of the combustion gas in construction. For a vigorous inner flow possessde 3m/s velocity in combustion gas of two burners. In calculation, we make use of a densely mesh to detailed analysis. In this study, the effect of swirl flow on the combustion of a commercial burner is analysed by experimental and also simulative manner. The results show the swirl burner has 40% better efficiency and less emissions of CO, HC, NOx and Smoke.

In-cylinder flow of a purpose-built small HSDI Hydra Diesel engine was investigated by laser Doppler velocimetry(LDV) during induction and compression processes. The flow was quantified in terms of ensemble-averaged axial and swirl velocities, normalized by the mean piston speed, at a plane located 12mm from the cylinder head and corresponding to the mid-plane of the diametrically-opposed quartz windows at an enigne speed of 1000rpm. The formation of toroidal vortices during the intake process and the evolution and decay of swirl motion during the compression process were observed. Turbulence at around TDC of compression became homogeneous and isotropic.

In order to prepare for the large power diesel vehicle, the current trend of advanced nations is to shift from the aluminum alloy piston to the steel piston. In this research, a steel forging piston which replaces the aluminum alloy piston is developed to improve the power performance of the diesel engine. The three dimensional flow and combustion analysis of the target engine is conducted. Using the result of the analysis, the piston is optimized, and a prototype of the articulated steel forging piston is built. The reliability of the piston has been evaluated through durability test using a Hydropuls Test Machine for 300,000 km.

This study presents the aerodynamic design and numerical analysis results on a transonic centrifugal compressor which is used for gas turbine systems. Mean-line analysis and quasi-3D analysis are used for the aerodynamic design, and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis is applied to flow analysis of the compressor. The aerodynamic parameters for a transonic compressor, such as pressure coefficient, swirl parameter, blade loading, are discussed, and flow characteristics in the impeller and diffuser are discussed.

The gas motion inside the engine cylinder plays a very important role in determining the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine. A precise information of in-cylinder three dimensional complex gas motion is crucial in optimizing engine design. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is a combustion concept, which is a hybrid between Otto and Diesel engine. The turbulent diffusion leads to increased rates of momentum, heat and mass transfer. The in-cylinder turbulence flow was found to affect the present HCCI combustion mainly through its influence on the wall heat transfer. This study investigates the effect of piston geometry shape on the turbulent flow characteristics of in-cylinder from the numerical analysis using the LES model and the results obtained can offer guidelines of the combustion geometries for better combustion process and engine performance.
