Numerical simulation of reactive flow in internal combustion engines. [CONCHAS-SPRAY code]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5410552
Multidimensional numerical simulations of the reactive fluid flow in an internal combustion engine cylinder are useful in helping engine designers obtain insight into the physical mechanisms governing efficiency and pollutant formation. A comprehensive numerical model for internal combustion engine cylinder simulations that has been developed at Los Alamos is described. The model is currently embodied in a two-dimensional (axisymmetric) computer code called CONCHAS-SPRAY. Work is in progress on a three-dimensional code with the same features.
