Research on the Ignition-Chamber GDI Engine Combustion System
Abstract
The ignition-chamber GDI engine combustion system and its fuel injection strategy were presented and studied by multi-dimensional fluid dynamic (CFD) code and experiment. The CFD research result shows that the ignition-chamber combustion system and its fuel injection strategy can ensure that there is flammable mixture with appropriate concentration distribution near the spark plug to enhance the ignition reliability. The performance of the GDI engine with the ignition-chamber combustion system was investigated basing on the existing experiment condition. The result shows that the ignition-chamber combustion system has the potential of decreasing emissions and enhancing the combustion speed and stability.
