Objetivo
The objective of LESSCO2 is to give the car industry the ability to predict and thus control by design cyclic variability in internal combustion Otto cycle engines. These phenomena are detrimental to engine efficiency and pollutant emissions. Controlling them by design allows taking full profit of the benefits in terms of CO2, efficiency and pollutants that can be expected from novel concepts like CAI. As today's 3D CFD tools are not able to address these phenomena, LESSCO2 proposes a highly innovative work on the Large Eddy Simulation technique. Novel LES models and numerical techniques will be developed, including work on using realistic auto-ignition chemistry for gasoline and natural gas, tested and transferred to the projects industrial partners. They will validate the obtained industrial LES engine design tools by performing multi-cycle simulations aiming at predicting cyclic variability and estimate their impact on future designs.
