Abstract
Three-dimensional numerical simulations of mixture formation, autoignition, and combustion processes in a cylinder of a sample Diesel engine using the detailed reaction mechanism of fuel oxidation are performed. Particular attention is paid to the autoignition process. The three-stage nature of fuel autoignition in a Diesel engine characterized by the successive appearance of cool, blue, and hot flame exothermic centers has been observed computationally for the first time. The specific features of each of the three stages of autoignition and their interaction with each other are revealed. The location of the first centers of autoignition is identified. The influence of the parameters of numerical procedure on the calculated characteristics of multistage autoignition is investigated. The influence of the fuel Cetane number on the engine operation process is discussed.
