Engine Simulations with CFD Technologies

Modeo Gregorio - Magneti Marelli (Italy)

Abstract

A three-dimensional transient CFD model of a four-stroke engine is described and the results of the simulations are presented togheter with an overview of state-of-the-art techniques for CFD engine simulation. A combination of automatic re-meshing and multi-configuration methods are applied using ANSYS CFX in order to simulate the moving mesh and different phases of the engine cycle, including fuel injection, spray formation and particle break-up. The flow structure and pattern in a complete engine cycle is presented with engine specific post-processing.
