Simulation of the Scavenging Process in Two-Stroke Engines

open access: yes, 2012
It is widely known that the scavenging process plays a very important role in the performance and efficiency of two-stroke engines. Briefly, scavenging is the process by which the fresh charge displaces the burnt gas from the cylinder. Due to the difficulties associated with the measurement techniques, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a very ...
