Abstract

A numerical model that utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques is simulated for the analysis of a swirl chamber type diesel engine. This research also reveals the effects of swirl chamber passage hole geometry on the combustion characteristics of a swirl chamber type diesel engine depending on the shape, angle, and area of the jet passage. Turbulence kinetic energy is generated by compound effects of the pressure, heat release, NOx concentrations, and soot concentrations. Results show that combustion characteristics are affected by the passage hole areas and the passage hole inclination angles.
