Abstract
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been of interest since the 1970s for application in internal combustion (IC) engines. Thin TBCs exhibit a temperature swing phenomenon wherein wall temperatures dynamically respond to the transient working-gas temperature throughout the engine cycle, thus reducing the temperature difference driving the heat transfer. Determining these varying wall temperatures is necessary to evaluate and study the effect of coatings on wall heat transfer. This study focuses on developing a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-finite element analysis (FEA) coupled simulation, or co-simulation, routine to determine the wall temperatures of a piston coated with a thin TBC layer subject to spark ignition combustion heat flux. A CONVERGE 3D-CFD model was used to simulate the combustion process in a single-cylinder, light-duty experimental spark ignition (SI) engine. Transient piston heat transfer analysis was conducted using ABAQUS, a FEA package, under the simulated combustion heat flux load. The effect of the temperature swing phenomenon due to this TBC layer was observed in a CFD simulation by implementing the FEA results as the piston thermal boundary conditions. The boundary conditions were passed between the CFD and FEA tools until a quasi-steady state solution was achieved. A reduction in wall heat transfer was observed due to a reduced temperature difference between the wall and the working gas.
