Jet ignition and direct fuel injection are potential enablers of higher-efficiency, cleaner internal combustion engines (ICEs), where very lean mixtures of gaseous fuels could be burned with pollutants formation below Euro 6 levels, efficiencies approaching 50 per cent full load, and small efficiency penalties operating part load. The lean-burn direct-injection (DI) jet ignition ICE uses a fuel injection and mixture ignition system consisting of one main-chamber DI fuel injector and one small jet ignition pre-chamber per engine cylinder. The jet ignition pre-chamber is connected to the main chamber through calibrated orifices and accommodates a second DI fuel injector. In the spark plug version, the jet ignition pre-chamber includes a spark plug which ignites the slightly rich pre-chamber mixture which then, in turn, bulk ignites the ultra-lean stratified main-chamber mixture through the multiple jets of hot reacting gases entering the in-cylinder volume. The paper uses coupled computer-aided engineering and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to provide better details of the operation of the jet ignition pre-chamber (analysed so far with downstream experiments or stand-alone CFD simulations), thus resulting in a better understanding of the complex interactions between chemistry and turbulence that govern the pre-chamber flow and combustion.
