Challenge

Week 9: Project 1 - Surface preparation and Boundary Flagging (PFI)

Objective

To make NO HYDRO case set up of an IC engine. Make boundary flagging and complete the whole set up in order to figure out if the Geometry moves correctly during the run.

Geometry

Boundary flaging

Piston head

inflow and intake port

outflow and exhaust port

liner

cylinder head

intake and exhaust valve

spark plug

As you see the valve is open (marked with the red lines), therefore we need a concept called "Disconnect triangles in order to avoid airflow between this little gap when the valve is considered to be closed. If the Disconnect triangles were not present then the simulation will underpredict mass flow in the combustion region. were not present then the simulation will underpredict mass flow in the combustion region.

we activate "disconnect triangles' with the "events".

Regions and initialization

As we intend to simulate NO HYDRO in this challenge we just set the base grid size to be

4mm in order to simulate the case faster, we don't use fixed embedding or AMR in this chapter of the project. Mesh will be refined in the FULL HYDRO

case.
