Modeling of biodiesel combustion on compression ignition engine was conducted by using the KIVA3v-Release 2 code coupled with Chemkin chemistry solver2. In order to calculate the chemical kinetics of combustion of biodiesel, a reduced mechanism of methyl decanoate and methyl 9-decanoate was used. It is composed of 123 species and 394 reactions. Also, the experiments were performed on a single-cylinder engine. The simulation results agreed well with experiments results. And soot concentrations of biodiesel were lower than those of diesel.

This study is numerical analysis about optimal conditions of GDICI (gasoline direct injection compression ignition) engine operation using intake preheating. Numerical modeling was performed by using the KIVA-3V Release2 code integrated Chemkin chemistry solver II. For validation of numerical model, experiments were performed on a single-cylinder engine. Throughout the numerical simulations under variable conditions, the ranges of optimal conditions were found.

This paper describes numerical study of combustion characteristics in CNG(compressed natural gas) DI(direct injection) engine using gaseous sphere injection model. Simulations were conducted using KIVA-3V Release 2 code. Gaseous sphere injection model, which is modified model of liquid fuel injection, was used to simulate the CNG direct injection. Until now, a very fine mesh smaller than the injector nozzle has been required to resolve the gas-jet inflow boundary. However, the gaseous sphere injection model simulates gaseous fuel injection using a coarse mesh. This model injects gaseous spheres as in liquid fuel injection and the gaseous spheres evaporate together without the latent heat of evaporation. Therefore, it does not require a very fine mesh and reduce calculation time. Combustion simulation were performed under various injection timings and injection pressures.

Rising oil price and environmental problems are causing automotive industry to increase fuel efficiency. Improved fuel efficiency in gasoline engine was made possible by development of DISI gasoline engine. Since fuel is injected inside cylinder directly, in-cylinder temperature can be reduced than multi-port injection engine and this leads to increased compression ratio. However, engine performance is largely dependent on mixture formation process due to in-cylinder fuel injection. Especially for spray guided and air guided DISI gasoline engine, injection direction is important factor to mixture preparation. It is because interaction between intake flow and spray affect fuel-air mixture. Hence, in this study, mixture formation characteristics were analyzed by varying injection direction using KIVA 3V release2 code. Residual gas was considered for assuming combustion. Therefore, initial condition for in-cylinder temperature was set equal to the end state of exhaust stroke of combustion cycle. Since angle between intake air flow direction and spray direction affects fluid flow and evaporation field, mixture distribution was affected by fuel injection direction dominantly.
