Dynamic in-cylinder flow simulations
The CFD software package OpenFOAM has been used to do these complex in-cylinder simulations. Since OpenFOAM is an open-source software package it is possible to make adjustments to the software. Since the architecture of the JaqEngine is completely different from the Otto-engine, modifications to the software were needed. In OpenFOAM it is possible to do dynamic engine simulations. Topological changes to the mesh, such as layer addition/removal and sliding interfaces are implemented in OpenFOAM.
