Abstract

A zero-dimensional model is presented to simulate the transient processes occurring within a two-stroke SI engine. A two zone combustion model, with a spherically expanding flame front originating from the spark location, is applied. The model is numerically solved using the network simulation model which allows coupling the combustion model with a heat transfer model where both radiant and convective heat contributions have been taken into account for the in-cylinder gases. The boundary conditions for this model are the convective heat transferred to the cooling medium. A gas mixture model has been used to obtain the influence of working fluid properties on combustion development.
