CFD simulations of Rapid Compression Machines using detailed chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The use of creviced pistons in Rapid Compression Machines (RCMs) has proven to be very efficient in making the temperature homogeneous inside the reaction chamber but has the disadvantage of inducing an unintended mass transfer from the reaction chamber to the crevice, especially during the preliminary heat release of two-stage ignition processes. Aiming to mitigate this mass transfer, the technique of ‘crevice containment’ (CC) has been ...
