Burn Modes and Prior-Cycle Effects on Cyclic Variations in Lean-Burn Spark-Ignition Engine Combustion 880201
Cyclic variation is examined by: (1) conditional grouping and heat-release analysis to reveal different modes of combustion, (2) considering the order in which the burn modes occur to establish prior-cycle effects and (3) comparing the measured variation in IMEP with data generated by simple models.
Results show that several burn modes may exist, particularly under fuel-lean conditions. Prior-cycle effects also become more obvious as the air-fuel ratio is increased. Finally, comparisons with data generated by simple models show that the nature of cyclic variation may range from completely stochastic to a superposition of a non-chaotic deterministic process on a stochastic process.
