The article presents results of the 3D-CFD modeling of mixture creation process in the cylinder of diesel engine. The simulation was performed using the AVL Fire software. Based on the geometry of the ADCR engine, produced by Andoria-Mot Company, a 3D-CFD model of combustion chamber, channels in the engine head and CNG injector nozzle were created. This model prevented the simulation of the filling, compression and mixture creation process. Specially prepared CNG injector has been placed in the socket of the glow plug, to minimize interference with the structure of the engine. With this solution full functionality of the original fuel supply system was retained with the ability to work with one or two fuels. During studies the location of the gas injector nozzle was changed. The results of simulation are presented for three variants of CNG injector locations.

This paper focuses on the issues concerning gyroplane powertrain cooling. The Rotax 912S engine was selected as a propulsion system following a detailed analysis. A one-dimensional model, simulated with the AVL Boost software, was applied to determine the heat balance of the engine and the heat flux penetrating through each of engine's surfaces. The geometrical quantities defined in the model were obtained by measuring a three-dimensional geometry provided by an authorized Rotax engine supplier company. Calculation results were then verified by comparing the obtained values with data available from the Rotax 912S engine and with the values of individual parameters given in the literature.
