Numerical investigation of soot formation in diesel jet flame with KIVA-3V

Abstract

Diesel engines emit a Large amount of pollutants essentially soot particles. This paper describes a 3D modeling on platform of a 3-D code for engine thermodynamic simulation Kiva-3V. A Hiroyasu model for soot formation was used originally, it’s a twostep Empirical model has been implanted in the code. This study was conducted to predict the emission of pollutants such soot more accurately and to enhance understanding of the pollutant formation process. The simulation was carried out by using a supercharged direct injected single cylinder diesel engine for heavy-duty applications.
