5 5 LIQUID PHASE MODELS The Infinite Thermal Conductivity (ITC) models are based on the energy balance equation of the droplet as a whole. The solution to this equation:,

6 6 Conduction limit. Effective conductivity

7 7 where θ R is the radiation temperature, R d is the droplet radius, θ R can be assumed equal to the external temperature T ext in the case of an optically thin gas in the whole domain.

9 9 Analytical solution for h=const

10 10 Numerical algorithms numerical algorithm based on the analytical solution (analytical solution at the end of the time step is considered as the initial condition for the next time step) numerical solution of the discretised heat conduction equation (fully implicit approach) numerical solution based on the assumption of no temperature gradient inside the droplet (conventional approach currently used in CFD codes)

11 11 Main results (Liquid phase models) The numerical algorithm based on the analytical solution is recommended when a compromise between high accuracy and CPU requirements is essential. The contribution of thermal radiation can be taken into account via the simplified form of the radiation term.

12 12 GAS PHASE MODELS, Model 4 (Abramzon and Sirignano, 1989):.

13 13 TEST CASE 1 (Zero-dimensional code),.

14 14 Plots for Tg0= 880K, pg0=3 MPa, Td0= 300 K, Rd0=10 μm and vd0=1 m/s. The overall volume of injected liquid fuel was taken equal to 1 mm3, and the volume of air, where the fuel was injected, was taken equal to 883 mm3. The results were obtained based on the ETC model and using seven gas phase models. Text=2000K

15 15 The same as the previous figure but using three liquid phase numerical algorithms: the algorithm based on the analytical solution of the heat conduction equation inside the droplet (1), the algorithm based on the numerical solution of the heat conduction equation inside the droplet (2), the algorithm based on the assumption that the thermal conductivity inside droplets is infinitely large (3).

16 16 TEST CASE 2 (KIVA 2 CFD code),.

17 17 The total autoignition delay times observed experimentally and computed using the customised version of the KIVA 2 CFD code at three initial in-cylinder pressures. The initial injected liquid fuel temperature was assumed equal to 375 K. The injection pressure was equal to 160 MPa. The modified WAVE model, two liquid phase models (ETC and ITC) and two gas phase models (model 0 and the AS model) were used for computations.

18 18 Main results ( Hydrodynamic Heating and Evaporation Models ) The choice of the gas phase model is essential for predicting the evaporation time The choice of the liquid phase model is essential for predicting the initial temperatures and autoignition delay Sazhin, S.S., Kristyadi, T., Abdelghaffar, W.A. and Heikal, M.R.

21 21, Plots of ethanol droplet temperature T d, measured experimentally (solid triangles) and predicted by the model (T ds droplet temperatures at the surface of the droplet, T dav average droplet temperature, and T dc droplet temperature at the centre of the droplet) and gas temperature T g for the initial conditions R do = 118.65 mm, T do =294 K, C=3.97

22 22, Plots of ethanol droplet temperature T d and radius R d, measured experimentally (solid triangles and squares) and predicted by the model (T ds droplet temperatures at the surface of the droplet, T dav average droplet temperature, and T dc droplet temperature at the centre of the droplet) for gas average temperature T g equal to 1270 K and for the initial conditions R do = 52.25 mm, T do =309 K, C=10.5

23 23 Main results ( MODELLING VERSUS EXPERIMENTS ) For relatively small droplets (initial radii about 65 μm) the experimentally measured droplet temperatures are close to the predicted average droplet temperatures. These temperatures are closer to the temperatures predicted at the centre of the droplets when the droplet diameter is larger than the probe volume size of the two- colour LIF thermometry. C.
