Abstract

- With the revived interest in hydrogen (H ) as a direct combustion fuel for engine applications, a computational study is conducted to assess the characteristics of H direct-injection (DI) compression-ignition (CI) non-premixed combustion concept. Development of a CFD modeling using CONVERGE CFD solver focuses on hydrogen's unique characteristics by utilizing a suitable numerical method to reproduce the direct H injection phenomena. A grid sensitivity study is performed to ensure the fidelity of results with optimal cost, and the models are validated against constant-volume optical chamber and diesel engine experimental data. The present study aims to contribute to the future development of DICI H combustion engines, providing detailed characterization of the combustion cycle, and highlighting several distinct aspects of CI nonpremixed H versus diesel combustion. First, unlike the common description of diesel sprays, hydrogen jets do not exhibit significant flame lift-off and air entrainment near injector nozzle, and the fuel-air interface is drastically more stratified with no sign of premixing. It is also found that the DICI H combustion concept is governed first by a free turbulent jet mixing phase, then by an in-cylinder global mixing phase. The former is drastically more dominant with the DICI H engine compared to conventional diesel engines. The free-jet mixing is also found to be more effective that the global mixing, which indicates the need to completely rethink the optimization strategies for CI engines when using H as fuel. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
