Abstract
The present paper describes and validates an efficient CFD implementation to replicate the working fluid-dynamics of a real four-stroke internal combustion engine. To do this, experimental data obtained on a single-cylinder engine are used to validate the proposed computational approach. The engine domain is divided into regions according to each moving zone, and these are coupled using a pseudo-supermesh interface presented in a previous work by the authors. In this work, the original pseudo-supermesh strategy is enhanced by introducing the dual-boundary concept to model the valve opening/closing events to increase the accuracy and simplicity of the simulation procedure. The results produced by the proposed software tool show a good correlation to the experimental measurements of the complete engine cycle. Macroscopic quantities of the in-cylinder flow are accurately replicated as well as the instantaneous evolution of the in-cylinder and intake manifold pressure. Furthermore, the present work shows that the computational efficiency and scalability of the enhanced pseudo-supermesh approach are preserved even when applied to more complex real problems. In this sense, this work contributes to a new engineering tool promoting the enhanced pseudo-supermeshes as an effective tool for the design, development, and optimization of internal combustion engines.
