- Abstract
Hydrogen stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels for combustion engines. Predictive combustion models are instrumental in developing hydrogen-fuelled engines. A fundamental metric of these models is the laminar burning velocity (LBV), which can be precisely determined through laminar flame propagation simulations. In this context, the selection of an appropriate combustion mechanism is critical. This paper aims to propose the appropriate combustion mechanism for calculating LBV in predictive combustion models of hydrogen-fuelled engines. 15 state-of-the-art combustion mechanisms were applied to reproduce the LBV measurements in engine-like conditions, especially considering the application of lean combustion and water...

Hydrogen stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels for combustion engines. Predictive combustion models are instrumental in developing hydrogen-fuelled engines. A fundamental metric of these models is the laminar burning velocity (LBV), which can be precisely determined through laminar flame propagation simulations. In this context, the selection of an appropriate combustion mechanism is critical. This paper aims to propose the appropriate combustion mechanism for calculating LBV in predictive combustion models of hydrogen-fuelled engines. 15 state-of-the-art combustion mechanisms were applied to reproduce the LBV measurements in engine-like conditions, especially considering the application of lean combustion and water injection. The FFCM 1.0 mechanism was identified from them and further optimised to improve its prediction accuracy at elevated pressures for the lean mixture. The maximum deviation of LBV was reduced from 17.6 % to 8.7 % by this optimisation, in comparison to 10.5 % for its closest competitor mechanism, ELTE (Varga et al., 2015).
