Advanced 1-D Ignition and Flame Growth Modeling for Ignition and Misfire Predictions in Spark Ignition Engines

Simulating high amounts of exhaust gas recirculation in spark ignited engines to predict combustion using the currently available CFD modeling approaches is a challenge and does not always give reasonable matches with experimental observations. One of the reasons for the mismatch lies with the secondary circuit treatment of the ignition coil and the resulting energy deposition or a complete lack o…
