Simulating a Hydrogen Direct Injection Engine with CONVERGE
Simulating alternative fuels in IC engines is simple with CONVERGE’s SAGE detailed chemistry solver. In this video, we use SAGE to simulate a hydrogen direct injection engine. The first view shows the mesh on a cut-plane through the axis of the cylinder, colored by temperature. You can see how Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) adds cells throughout the simulation to efficiently capture the hydrogen injection and the flame front. The second view shows a volumetric rendering of hydrogen during injection and the temperature in the cylinder during combustion. CONVERGE makes it easy to investigate carbon-free and carbon-neutral fuels as we move to decarbonize the transportation industry.
Convergent Science's CONVERGE is an innovative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that eliminates the grid generation bottleneck from the simulation process through autonomous meshing.
