Background and objectives:
Design and operation of modern combustion engines faces the
need to combine high efficiency with low pollutants
emissions, even under real trafic conditions. Computational
Fluid Dynamics has become a powerful tool in design and
analysis of internal engines. Many numerical models exist,
each having a range of applicability, computational cost and
accuracy. Consequently, CFD experts involved in internal
engine simulations, in addition to usual CFD skills, need
specific insight and knowledge in spray and combustion
modelling in order to conduct thorough analysis. The present
course addresses this need.

In this course, the participants will learn the best
practices in CFD of internal engines. They will discover how
to select models, how to validate numerical simulations, and
which accuracy to expect. Spray injection, flame ignition,
flame propagation, pollutants emissions, efficiency and
knock effects, including complex fuels, are critical issues
in the design of modern internal engines and a major part of
the course is devoted to them.

The lectures of this course, all by well-known experts in
the field, cover from basics to applications.

The course is held at the occasion of the publication of the
ERCOFTAC Best Practice Guide on CFD of combustion, a copy of
which will be provided to the participants.

In the course also the link will be made with the CFD
programs and cases of interest for the participants. As a
result, the course provides the means for CFD analysts to
significantly enhance their use of commercial and
open-source CFD software for combustion engineering
applications.
