CFD Simulations

Introduction

The TU Darmstadt engine has been investigated by three different groups using LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and hybrid URANS(unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes)/LES. These research groups are located at Technische Universit\"{a}t Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBF), Universit\"{a}t Duisburg-Essen (UDE) and Technische Universit\"{a}t Darmstadt (TUD). In the follow, the different approaches will be presented, including general information about the code and the physical modelling, computational domain and mesh treatment, initial and boundary conditions and computational requirements. Additional and detailed information can be found in the scientific papers listed in Table \ref{tab:simulations}.

Overview of simulation

Test data for the motored case is available at three different operating points. A test case considering an engine speed of 800 RPM is investigated in the numerical studies, which are summarized in Table \ref{tab:simulations}.
