It was important for predicting wall heat flux to apply wall heat transfer model by taking into account of the behavior of turbulent kinetic energy and density change in wall boundary layer. Although energy equation base wall heat transfer model satisfied above requirements, local physical amounts such as turbulent kinetic energy in near wall region should be applied. In this study, in order to predict wall heat transfer by zero dimensional analysis, how to express wall heat transfer by using mean physical amounts in engine combustion chamber was considered by experimental and numerical approaches.

As a technology to reduce the heat loss of engines, heat insulation coating to the surface of combustion chamber has been received a lot of attention. In order to maximize the thermal efficiency improvements by the technology, it is important to clarify the location where heat insulation coating can reduce heat loss more effectively, considering the impact on abnormal combustion etc. In this study, transient behavior of wall heat flux distribution on the piston was analyzed using 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for three combustion modes (spark ignition combustion (SI), homogenous charge compression Ignition (HCCI) and spark controlled compression ignition (SPCCI)).
