Zero-dimensional zonal models are seen as interesting tools for engine simulation due to their simplicity and yet accuracy in fitting or predicting experimental data. For combustion, a common model is a dual zone model, in which two-zones, spatially homogeneous, are set during the combustion process. Such model take into account an interface of infinitesimal thickness for the separation between zones. The success of this simulation approach depends on the accuracy of the heat transfer model. These models aim to obtain the heat transfer coefficient from the combustion gases in contact with the cylinder walls. Several heat transfer correlations from the literature can be used to obtain the heat transfer coefficient.
