Early Stages of Combustion in Internal Combustion Engines Using Linked CFD and Chemical Kinetics Computations and its Application to Natural Gas Burning Engines

摘要

The paper describes a numerical model for the early stages of combustion in Natural Gas engines using linked CFD and detailed chemical kinetics. The importance of such a combustion device stems from the characteristics of natural gas which make it an attractive near-term olution for the automotive emissions problem.
