Comparison of CFD Results with Experimental Data

In-Cylinder Pressure

The in-cylinder pressure curves are shown in Figure \ref{fig:InCylinderPressure}. All groups match the experimental data well. Only for the peak pressure one can observe deviations due to its sensitivity in respect to the boundary conditions. The peak pressure was typically overestimated by the simulations. The influence of the piston top-land crevice is shown considering the data obtained using Ansys CFX, where simulations were carried out with and without the crevice volume. The specific treatment of the crevice volume considering the different computational codes can be found in chapter \ref{sec:BC}. It was found, that the lower temperature inside the crevice is decreasing the overall in-cylinder temperature and hence the in-cylinder pressure. A detailed discussion about this deviation can be found in \cite{Janas2017,JanasDiss2017}.
