Abstract

The thermodynamic model is a valuable simulation tool for developing combustion engines. The most widely applied thermodynamic models of spark-ignition engines are the single-zone model and the two-zone model. Compared to the single-zone model, the two-zone model offers more detailed in-cylinder thermodynamic conditions, but its governing equations are numerically stiffer, therefore it is restricted when applied in computationally intensive scenarios. To reduce the two-zone model’s stiffness, this paper isolates an idealized thermodynamic process in the unburned zone and describes this idealized thermodynamic process by an algebraic equation. Assisted with this idealized thermodynamic process, this paper builds a novel two-zone model for spark-ignition engines, whose governing equations are simplified to a set of two ordinary differential equations accompanied by a set of three algebraic equations. Benchmarked against the single-zone model and conventional two-zone model, the novel two-zone model is formed and validated by experimental results, and its stiffness is quantitatively evaluated by linearizing its governing equations at simulation steps. The results show that the novel two-zone model inherits the conventional two-zone model’s ability to estimate both zones’ state variables highly accurately while its simplified structure reduces its stiffness down to the level of the single-zone model, accelerating the computation speed.
