【 摘 要 】

Abstract Gasoline compression ignition combustion has demonstrated the potential of getting high fuel efficiency. In this work, two engine models are established in the commercial software Converge 2.3 based on the experimental results of an optical engine and a modified metal engine. The effect mechanism of mixture stratification and the influence of compound control strategy on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) combustion and soot emissions under high load condition are investigated. Results show that synergistic effect of physics and chemistry is the dominant control mechanism of GCI combustion. Stronger mixture stratification can effectively reduce the maximum pressure rise rate (MPRR) and improve the indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) and emissions; applying high EGR will significantly reduce OH radical in the cylinder and subsequently weaken the soot oxidation process, resulting in high soot emission; under the premise of reasonable NOx emission and MPRR, the soot emission can be effectively reduced with a proper advanced main injection timing. The effect of temperature on the soot oxidation process is the primary mechanism for the ultimate soot emission at different main injection timings; properly increasing the interval between the pre‐ and main injection can reduce NOx and soot emissions under the premise of ensuring that the MPRR is within the upper limit. However, the effect is not significant because of the small proportion of preinjection fuel.
