Abstract:The mixture formation and turbulent jet ignition characteristics in the pre-combustion chamber (PCC) of a marine natural gas engine was studied. Based on the experimentally calibrated spray model, the simulation of the diesel atomization–mixing–ignition process in the PCC was carried out, and the influence law of the injection parameters and the pre-chamber structure parameters on the ignition characteristics was obtained. Results show that the injection pressure affects the formation of the mixture in the PPC from aspects of both the wet wall and atomization. The use of two-stage injection can reduce the fuel amount of wet wall in the PPC. When the mixture just starts to catch fire, increasing the equivalence ratio gradient of the mixture and shortening the distance between the initial ignition point and the jet hole can reduce fuel loss, increase the duration of heat release and improve the ignition ability.
