Calculations of the Unsteady, Three-Dimensional Flow Field Inside a Motored Wankel Engine 880625

A computer program (referred to as UF-LRC-3D) was developed for studying the unsteady, three-dimensional flow field inside the combustion chambers of motored Wankel engines as a function of engine design and operating parameters. This paper presents the details of the governing equations and the numerical method used by UF-LRC-3D. Also presented are numerical solutions generated by UF-LRC-3D showing the velocity field inside a motored Wankel engine, the mixing of nonhomogeneous fuel-air mixtures that enter through the intake port, and the mixing that takes place when a gaseous fuel is injected into the combustion chamber during compression.
