LMS Imagine.Lab Combustion supports the design and the optimization of new combustion processes and adaptation of engines to alternative fuels. It helps users to optimize the cylinder geometry (piston shape, head, location of injectors, plug), to optimize engine parameters (such as advance, turbulence: swirl/tumble/squish, lambda control or injection split…) for different fuel types, and study advanced combustion processes including HCCI and CAI. Combustion processes get increasingly complex in order to comply with conflicting demands. More stringent emission standards have to be met while customers desire higher engine response and lower noise levels.
Engine designers are therefore looking for interesting alternatives beyond the continuously evolving conventional gasoline Spark Ignition (SI) and diesel Compression Ignition (CI) combustions.
LMS Imagine.Lab Combustion provides an efficient way to investigate the transient engine behavior by using an unparalleled numerical multi-domain system simulation approach. The IFP-Engine library provides dedicated components for combustion simulations and can be seamlessly coupled with 3D combustion codes and models (like IFP-C3D).
LMS Imagine.Lab Combustion provides the ideal toolset to analyze the dynamic behavior of any combustion process, and enables flawless 3D calculation integration in a system approach. Dedicated libraries come with state-of-the-art 1D and 3D models suitable for various applications from large diesel to high-rev gasoline engines.
