Simulation of Combustion Process in Diesel Engines Based on Eddy Dissipation Model

Abstract

The aim of this study is to simulate the combustion process in the combustion chamber of diesel engines by using eddy dissipation model (EDM) and computational fluid dynamics method (CFD). Computational fluid dynamics has been used wieldy in the recent years for simulating the strokes of diesel engines including the combustion process. Eddy dissipation model can be used for simulating non-premixed combustion cases such as the combustion in diesel engines. The simulation steps and the simulation results will be discussed and illustrated. ANSYS program is the software which used for performing this simulation.
