A step wise efficient lumping strategy for different reaction types combine with necessity analysis has been used for the simplification and reduction of mechanism in order to make it faster and less complex in terms of both number of reactions and species. Its validation has been done against the shock tube experimental data from Fieweger et al. for both low and high temperature regions, lean and rich fuel conditions, a range of octane numbers and pressures from 13 bar to 40 bar. In addition, the mechanism was tested using a zero dimensional Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition engine model against experiments under a range of different octane numbers and initial temperatures.

T1 - Automatic optimization of detailed kinetic mechanism for HCCI-engine simulation T2 - The 227th ACS National Meeting, Anaheim, CA, March 28-April 1, 2004 N2 - In recent years detailed kinetic models have been developed and validated for both auto ignition and laminar combustion processes. The range of validity of these models is limited by the range of physical parameters covered by the available experimental data. Often, a re-optimization of the models is necessary. Optimization of reaction models has been automated in the past for example for the development of the GRI-Mech. In this work a similar procedure has been applied to optimize a gasoline fuel reference model as developed by Curran and Westbrook for HCCI engine cases. The HCCI-process was simulated using a compressed homogeneous reactor. Computations have been carried out on a PC in a graphical user interface environment. Experimental data were collected at Lund Institute of Technology on a Volvo engine with variable compression ratio and port injection mixes of iso-octane/n-heptane. Results show that, after optimization, HCCI experiments can be predicted for the given conditions.

The process is based on a zero-dimensional spark ignition stochastic reactor model and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics of the cold in-cylinder flow. The cold flow simulations are carried out to analyse changes in the turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation. From this analysis, the volume-averaged turbulent mixing time can be estimated that is a main input parameter for the spark ignition stochastic reactor model. The spark ignition stochastic reactor model is used to simulate combustion progress and to analyse auto-ignition tendency in the end-gas zone based on the detailed reaction kinetics. The presented engineering process bridges the gap between three-dimensional and zero-dimensional models and is applicable to various engine concepts, such as, port-injected and direct injection engines, with single and multiple spark plug technology. The modelling enables predicting combustion effects and estimating the risk of knock occurrence at different operating points or new engine concepts for which limited experimental data are available.

To generate this table, NO relaxation complex chemistry calculations are used like in NORA, but the homogeneous reactor is replaced by a steady laminar diffusion flame. These models are validated on Sandia Flame D and on the flameless case of Verissimo et al. (Ener. Fuel. 25, 2469-2480 ([32])). For both cases, NORA underpredicts the NO production due to its insensitivity to strain, while LM overpredicts NO by a factor 2 on Flame D and a factor 13 on the flameless case. DF-NORA presents the best prediction with a maximal underprediction of 30% on Flame D and an over-prediction of 30% on the final NO yield of the flameless case. The impact of a radiative source term is also assessed on Flame D, showing a local decrease of NO by less than 7% compared to the adiabatic calculation for the DF-NORA model.

The analysis was enabled by experiments in which the detailed species composition in a fuel-rich flat premixed (ϕ=1.69) n-heptane flame at 40mbar has been studied by flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry using electron impact ionization. Mole fraction profiles of more than 80 different species have been measured and compared against the new detailed kinetic model consisting of 349 species and 3686 elementary reactions. For all major products and most of the minor intermediates, a good agreement of the modeling results with the experimentally-observed mole fraction profiles has been found. The presence of low- and intermediate-temperature chemistry close to the burner surface was consistently observed in the experiment and the simulation. With the same kinetic model, n-heptane auto-ignition timing, flame speeds and species composition in a jet-stirred reactor have been successfully simulated for a broad range of temperatures (500-2000K) and pressures (1-40bar). The comprehensive nature and wide applicability of the new model were further demonstrated by the examination of various target experiments for other C1 to C7 fuels.

The modeling is based on a zero-dimensional (0D) stochastic reactor model for SI engines (SI-SRM). The model is built on a probability density function (PDF) approach for turbulent reactive flows that enables for detailed chemistry consideration. Calculations were carried out for one, two, and three spark plugs. Capability of the SI-SRM to simulate engines with multiple spark plug (multiple ignitions) systems has been verified by comparison to the results from a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Numerical simulations were carried for part load operating points with 12.5%, 20%, and 25% of EGR. At high load, the engine was operated at knock limit with 0%, and 20% of EGR and different inlet valve closure timing. The quasi-3D treatment of combustion chamber geometry and the spherical flame propagation by the 0D SI-SRM enabled for estimating the impact of number of spark plugs on the combustion progress and the risk of knock occurrence. Application of three spark plugs shortened significantly the combustion process. When the engine was operated at knock limit and with 20% EGR, combustion duration was similar to that of engine operation without EGR and with one spark plug. Overall, the results presented demonstrate that this method has the potential to support early stages of engine development with limited experimental data available.

The DI-SRM accounts for detailed chemistry, in-homogeneities in the combustion chamber and turbulence-chemistry interactions. The existing implementation [1] was extended with a framework facilitating the use of tabulated soot source terms. The implementation allows now for using soot source terms provided by an online chemistry calculation, and for the use of a pre-calculated flamelet soot source term library. Diesel engine calculations were performed using the same detailed kinetic soot model in both configurations. The chemical mechanism for n-heptane used in this work is taken from Zeuch et al. [2] and consists of 121 species and 973 reactions including PAH and thermal NO chemistry. The engine case presented in [1] is used also for this work. The case is a single-injection part-load passenger car Diesel engine with 27 % EGR fueled with regular Diesel fuel. The two different approaches are analyzed and a detailed comparison is presented for the different soot processes globally and in the mixture fraction space. The contribution of the work presented in this paper is that a method which allows for a direct comparison of soot source terms - calculated online or retrieved from a flamelet table - without any change in the simulation setup has been developed within the SRM framework. It is a unique tool for model development. Our analysis supports our previous conclusion [1] that flamelet soot source terms libraries can be used for multi-dimensional modeling of soot formation in Diesel engines.

Isomers with similar Gibbs free energy are lumped assuming they present equal concentrations when applied to standard reactor conditions. Unlike several lumping approaches found in literature, no calculation results from the primary mechanism have been employed prior to the application of our chemical lumping strategy.
