Abstract
In the current paper, a CFD simulation study on a pent-roof, spark ignition engine was performed. The scope was to analyze the basic parameters that influence the performances of the simulation: mesh configuration, mesh refinement, turbulence model, and flame wrinkling model parameters. It was used as the OpenFOAM solver for spark ignition engines. The solver was modified by adding the layer addition/removal mechanism for the mesh. Further, a Zeldovich extended NOx model was implemented. Four different mesh configurations were tested with different refinement levels. A set of different turbulence models and initial parameters and different flame wrinkling model parameters were tested. It was observed how all these parameters influence the rate of heat release, cylinder pressure, temperature, the level of turbulent kinetic energy, the flame wrinkling factor, and finally the resulting concentration of nitride monoxide.
