Computacional fl uid dynamics model to study the scavenging process in a two stroke Otto engine
Keywords:
two-stroke engine, computational fl uid dynamics (CFD), scavenging, internal combustion engine.Abstract
In this paper, a CFD analysis
was carried out to study the
scavenging process of a two
stroke engine. Particularly, an
Otto, 125cc, single-cylinder,
loop scavenging and direct
injection engine was studied.
Transient solutions of pressure,
velocity and mass fraction
fi eld have been obtained
numerically.
In order to validate this model,
the numerically obtained
results were compared to
experimental obtained ones,
which means that this work
can perfectly simulate what
happens inside the cylinder. In
future projects, the aim is to
use this model to optimize the
effi ciency of the new engines,
reducing the habitual problems
of short circuiting and losses of
fresh charge
