Abstract
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was carried out on a four-stroke air-cooled DI diesel engine, F912Q manufactured by Beinei Company, by using the KIVA-3V code. The calculated in-cylinder pressure history and emissions are compared with the engine test data. The results show reasonable agreement. The effects of swirl ratio and spray, evaporation and mixing are investigated. It is found that there are optimum swirl ratio and spray angle for better evaporation and combustion.
