Abstract

The numerical modeling of the premixed combustion occurring in the chamber of a polygon engine is presented in this paper. This research is being carried out to support the analysis and design of a lightweight, two-stroke, six-sided, in-plane, polygon engine. Results for average combustion chamber temperature, turbulent flame speed, progress variable, and Damkohler number versus piston position are presented for methane (CH4), diesel (C10H22), and ethanol (C2H50H) fuels, respectively.
