Numerical study of the mixture formation process in a four-stroke GDI engine for two-wheel applications

Guidelines for managing the mixture formation process in a high-performance four-stroke Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine for two-wheel applications are discussed, as derived from a multidimensional modelling of the in-cylinder processes. Gasoline adduction from a multi-hole injector is simulated by resorting to a properly developed model that accounts for the dependence of the initial droplets size distribution upon injection pressure. The model portability is preliminary demonstrated by comparison with experimental measurements carried out on sprays entering a confined vessel at controlled conditions.The simulation of different engine operating conditions highlights the capability to work under the so-called “mixed mode” boosting with spray guided mixture formation.     

Partitioned formulation of internal and gravity waves interacting with flexible structures

This paper presents a partitioned modeling of internal and gravity fluid waves that interact with flexible structures. The governing interaction model consists of three completely partitioned entities: fluid model, structural model, and interface model that acts as an internal constraint on the fluid–structure interface boundary. Thus, the proposed partitioned multi-physics modeling can employ two completely modular fluid and structure software modules plus an interface solver, hence amenable to partitioned solution algorithms. The interface discretization can exploit the nonmatching interface algorithm previously developed via the method of localized Lagrange multipliers. Also noted is that the present fluid model can make use of widely available finite element software for standard Poisson-type problems.     

Algorithms for coupled problems that preserve symmetries and the laws of thermodynamics: Part II: fractional step methods

This article proposes a new type of discretizations for initial boundary value problems of thermodynamical systems. Based on a combination of finite elements in space and fractional step methods in time, we formulate algorithms that exactly preserve the symmetries and the laws of thermodynamics of the continuum problem. The algorithmic design is based on the GENERIC formalism of irreversible thermodynamics which naturally suggests the split of the evolution operator upon which our fractional step method is based. Although the emphasis of the article is on the generality of the results, as an illustration, a discretization of nonlinear, finite strain, thermoelasticity is presented. Numerical simulations are provided that verify the excellent performance of the new methods.     

A node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) for upper bound solution to visco-elastoplastic analyses of solids using triangular and tetrahedral meshes

A node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) was recently proposed for the solid mechanics problems. In the NS-FEM, the system stiffness matrix is computed using the smoothed strains over the smoothing domains associated with nodes of element mesh. In this paper, the NS-FEM is further extended to more complicated visco-elastoplastic analyses of 2D and 3D solids using triangular and tetrahedral meshes, respectively. The material behavior includes perfect visco-elastoplasticity and visco-elastoplasticity with isotropic hardening and linear kinematic hardening. A dual formulation for the NS-FEM with displacements and stresses as the main variables is performed. The von-Mises yield function and the Prandtl–Reuss flow rule are used. In the numerical procedure, however, the stress variables are eliminated and the problem becomes only displacement-dependent. The numerical results show that the NS-FEM has higher computational cost than the FEM. However the NS-FEM is much more accurate than the FEM, and hence the NS-FEM is more efficient than the FEM. It is also observed from the numerical results that the NS-FEM possesses the upper bound property which is very meaningful for the visco-elastoplastic analyses which almost have not got the analytical solutions. This suggests that we can use two models, NS-FEM and FEM, to bound the solution, and can even estimate the global relative error of numerical solutions.     

Design of discrete time adaptive PID control systems with parallel feedforward compensator

This paper deals with the design of an adaptive PID control system with a parallel feedforward compensator (PFC) for discrete-time SISO systems and its application to water level control of a 3-tank system. The proposed method utilizes the characteristics of almost strict positive realness (ASPR) of the controlled plant. A conventional design scheme of a PFC which realizes an ASPR augmented controlled plant is also proposed. Further it is shown that the introduction of an internal model improves the control performance of the control system with the PFC. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through water level control experiments on a three-tank SISO system.
