Abstract
To explore the effect of hydrogen blending on the combustion of a gasoline direct injection engine, a three-dimensional model of the engine is built. The effects of some hydrogen volume fractions (HVFs) and ignition timings (ITs) on the engine performance parameters are studied. Furthermore, the microstructure and mechanism of combustion are analyzed. The simulation results reveal that when the gasoline engine is blended with hydrogen, the active hydroxyl radical concentration increases, and the combustion process is accelerated. When the IT is fixed, with the HVF rising, the peak heat release rate and cylinder pressure will increase. The ignition delay, combustion duration, and crank angle when cumulative heat release reaches 50% decrease. Additionally, the autoignition is shifted to an earlier time as the IT advances. Under the studied conditions with the increase in the HVF, the knock resistance is enhanced because hydrogen has a high knock resistance and octane number.
