CONVERGE for IC Engines

This one-day course offers a hands-on introduction to CONVERGE for internal combustion (IC) engine modeling. You will practice setting up several types of IC engine cases, including diesel, PFI spark-ignited, and pre-chamber.

Upon the completion of this course, you will know how to:

• Prepare the piston and valves for motion
• Create an engine sector geometry for efficient computation
• Set up solver parameters and data files for engine simulations
• Control grid settings to obtain efficient and accurate engine simulation results
• Set up fuel injection via spray modeling
• Set up detailed chemical kinetics for accurate combustion and emissions modeling
• Set up wall heat transfer modeling in CONVERGE and direct CONVERGE to write heat transfer quantities for thermal analysis
• Set up additional modeling options that are important for engine simulations (e.g., turbulence and sources)
• Post-process engine-relevant results in CONVERGE Studio
