Emission characterization on a CAT3410 engine

In this project, you will be setting up the case for Diesel Engine CAT3410 from scratch i.e creating a sector out of 360° full geometry, providing boundary conditions, setting up turbulence model, spray model, and combustion model in Converge CFD software. You will be making use of Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) technique to capture the flow physics accurately and then running this heavy case on multiple cores (i.e parallel processing) in command line window (CYGWIN) and finally post processing the results in PARAVIEW where you will be looking for the core technical details like spray penetration length, flame propagation, comparing HIROY SOOT and NOx for Open-W piston and Omega piston. You will also be doing some pen and paper calculations to calculate the thermal efficiency and based on above studies, you will make a conclusion which piston is giving the best performance. Also, you will understand how you can improve the performance of the one which is not the best comparatively.
