Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is a numerical simulation of methane injection process in the inlet manifold of a compression ignition engine. The paper gives an overview of issues related to the turbulence modeling. Computational resources such as the amount of time for the simulation and the memory of the individual models were discussed. While it is impossible to state categorically which model is the most appropriate for a specific application, general guidelines are presented in order to help you choose the turbulence model for the flow you want to model.
