Knock phenomenon is an abnormal combustion originated from autoignition of unburned gas in the end-gas region during the later stage of combustion process and it accompanys a high pitched metallic noise. Engine Knock is accompanied with a vibration of engine cylinder and when it is severe, it can cause major engine demage. Engine Knock is characterized in terms of knock crank angle, knock pressure, pressure jump and knock intensity. In this study, a 4-cylinder spark ignition engine was used for experiment and eighty consecutive cycles were analyzed statistically. The purpose of this study is to characterize spark ignition engine knock as a function of ignition timing and fuel research octane number. The result of this study can be summerized as follows. Knock occurrence angle approached TDC as ignition timing is advanced. Pressure and knock intensity gradually increased as spark timing is advanced. Mean knock occurence angle gradually approached TDC as fuel research octane number is decreased for identical spark timing. Knock intensity increased linearly as RON is decreased.

The prediction of performance and emissions is presented for a spark ignition engine. a two zone, zero-dimensional model was employed which included thermodynamics, combustion and hear transfer, and a kinetic model employed for NOx. The model was used to analyze the processes of compression, combustion and expansion. Cylinder pressures and temperatures were calculated as a function of crankangle as well as engine performance and emissions. Predictions made with the simulation were compared with experimental data from a four cylinder spark ignition engine. Calculated pressures and, Co and Co$_{2}$ concentrations showed acceptable quantitative agreement with data. But calculated No concentrations were slightly different. A parametric study of the effect of variations in speed, combustion duration and spark timing was carried out. This simulation can be useful for design of spark ignition engines.

The diagnostic used to observe the early flame development was a fiber optic spark plug, which enabled measurement of the flame front arrival times on a cycle-to-cycle basis. The data obtained with this fiber optic spark plug were analyzed to obtain two parameters to describe the behavior of the flame kernel : an expansion speed and a convection velocity. In addition, synchronized cylinder pressure data were taken to compare with the fiber optic spark plug data on a cyclic basis. Heat release analysis was performed on the cylinder pressure data to obtain the mass burning profile of the charge for each cycle. There was a significant correlation observed in the initial flame duration and the kernel expansion speed with dwell angle.

The cyclic variations can be characterized by the variations in different type of parameters. These parameters may be grouped into four main categories: pressure-related parameters, combustion-related parameters, flame front-related parameters, and exhaust gas-related parameters. One of the resultant effects of the cycle-by-cycle variation in the combustion process, which is the most important with regard to the engine performance characteristics, is the cycle-by-cycle variation in IMEP. This paper uses the repetitive discharge igniter, which can change the ignition energy easily, to study on idle stability in a spark ignition engine. From this device, the 6 number of spark and 0.20 ms spark interval, it is very available for the idle stability.

To study the relationship between spark ignition and the gap in the nano-scale region, the electric potential was applied to between a Pt-Ir tip and a gold substrate. The tip was sharpened by electro-chemical etching process in the solution of $CaCl_2;H_2O$ and acetone. The radius of tip was measured to be around 200nm and attached to the scanning probe microscope to control the gap between the tip and the substrate. The electric potential of 10V to 80V was applied to initialize the spark. The gaps and the current profile were measured to analyze the characteristics of spark ignition. A spark sustaining time was measured to be between 50ns and 200ns depending on the applied electric potential and the gap between the electrodes. The continuous electric discharge was successfully sustained up to 1 second of spark or arc time. The developed process can be applicable to the micro-scale fabrication of automotive sensors as a similar concept of GTAW.

Knock and misfire, kinds of abnormal combustion, are highly undesirable effect on the internal combustion engine. So, it is important to detect these avnormal combuition and control the ignition timing etc. to avoid these mal-effect factors in real engine system. In this study, the system which detects the knock and the misfire using by spark plug is presented. This system is based on the effect of modulation breakdown voltage(BDV) between the spark gaps. The voltage drop between spark plug electrodes, when an electrical breakdown is initiated, depends on the temperature and pressure in combustion chamber. So, we can detect knock and misfire that produce changes in gas temperature and pressure (consequently, its density) using by BDV signal change which carries information about the character of combustion.

최근 방대한 양의 스트림 데이터가 생산되면서 이를 실시간으로 처리하기 위한 프레임워크가 등장하였으며, 오픈 소스 영역에서 Spark Streaming이 주목받고 있다. Spark Streaming은 분산 환경에서 성능 향상을 위해 지연 스케줄링을 기반으로 응용을 수행하지만, 장애 발생 시 사용 가능한 태스크 슬롯을 빠르게 할당받지 못할 경우 장애 복구 시간이 지연될 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 실행자의 태스크 슬롯 보장을 통해 대기 시간 없이 즉시 할당할 수 있도록 하는 개선 메커니즘을 제안하였고, 실험 결과 장애 복구 응답성이 39.14% 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Experimental study of variation of exhaust gas temperature was carried out with the changes of spark timing and exhaust valve timing during the cold start operation of an SI engine. To investigate the effects of these variables on combustion stability, cylinder pressure and exhaust gas temperature were measured and analyzed. Experimental results showed that exhaust gas temperature increased when spark and exhaust valve timings were retarded from the baseline cases. However, combustion stability during cold start deteriorated under the retarded conditions. To increase exhaust gas temperature for fast warmup of catalysts while maintaining combustion stability, an optimal condition for spark and valve timing retard should be appied for the cold start period.

The Monte-Carlo simulation was used to define the physical mechanisms of the initiation phase of pseudo-spark discharge. The pseudo-spark discharge employing the hollow cathode geometry is accompanied by very fast current rising and intense charged particle beams. In this model, time-dependent continuity equation for the electrons and ions were solved consistently with Poisson's equation for the electric field in a two-dimensional, sysmmetrically cylinderical geometry. From the simulation, a sequence of physical mechanisms that cause the rapid current rise associated with the onset of pseudo-spark discharge mode were identified.

In this paper, we propose an image-based synthesis method that can effectively represent the spark effect in fire simulation. We use the real flame image or animated image as inputs and perform the following steps : 1) extract feature vectors from the image, 2) calculate artificial buoyancy, and 3) generate and advect spark textures. We detect the edge from images and then calculate the feature vectors to calculate the buoyancy. In the next step, we compute the high-quality buoyancy vector field by integrating the two-dimensional feature vector and the fluid equation. Finally, the spark texture is advect by buoyancy field. As a result, our method is performed much faster than the previous approach and high-quality results can be obtained easily and stably.
