Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Cyclic variability is investigated in an optically accessible single-cylinder spark-ignition research engine by introducing artificial exhaust gas in controlled amounts to the homogenous air–fuel mixture before ignition. A skip-fire scheme ensures the absence of internal exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and allows the engine to be fired continuously for acquisition of large statistics. Four operating conditions ranging from a stable 0% EGR case up to a highly unstable extreme EGR case are analyzed to examine the increasing effects of homogeneous EGR on the cycle performance. To that end, high-speed measurements of the velocity field via particle image velocimetry and flame imaging in the tumble plane allow the determination of phenomena leading to various flame positions and sizes as well as faster and slower combustion cycles. Through extensive conditional statistical and multivariate correlation techniques, flames are found to be heavily influenced by large-scale velocity motion, especially with the presence of greater EGR which leads to lower flame speeds. The greater sensitivity of slower flames to variations in the velocity field manifests itself in an exponential increase in cyclic variability of the maximum in-cylinder pressure and causes misfire cycles where the flame is blown off or quenched at the cylinder roof. In the most extreme cycles at the highest EGR level, the state of the large-scale velocity structures at the time of ignition determines whether the flame propagates towards the center of the cylinder (and is blown off or quenched) or if the flame sustains growth by propagating within the lingering tumble vortex.
