Abstract
Square piston engine simulator experiments reveal flame kernel development and flame propagation for single event combustion. High speed color and black and white schlieren cinematography provide time and space resolved records for the combustion of intake manifold injected iso-pentane with air at a compression ratio of 6.6 to 1, engine speed of 900 rpm, spark and plasma ignition, and flat and squish pistons. Digitized schlieren records provide visual and quantitative data on the evolution of the volumetric burning rate.
The numerical analysis is based on the zero Mach number model, a simplification based on the concept that the local speed of sound, as a consequence of the relatively high temperature, is practically infinite in comparison with the flow velocity. The results provide information on the propagation of the flame front and the velocity vector field that is first generated by the flame and later causes its deformation.
