Simulation Study about Dual Spark Plug Position for the CNG Engine Combustion Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper has modeled and simulated the combustion process of big bore CNG engine by three-dimensional simulation software AVL FRIE. Based on test validation in the model, the effect on position of the dual spark plug for cylinder initial flame kernel development and flame propagation process was researched. The results showed that: When A=0.5, the flame propagation distance shortened by half, a certain intensity of turbulence formed when the compression stroke ended, the combustion speed was the fastest, the combustion duration was the shortest. If dual spark plug spacing is too small, the two flames meet prematurely will cause interfere with each other, and reduce the combustion speed of the overlapping region of the flame surface, increase the heat losses. Otherwise,if the distance is too large , close to the combustion chamber wall, the combustion space is narrow, the flame propagation space is restricted, then flame development is slow.
