Abstract
The aim of this thesis project is to study the combustion of ICE engines fuelled with natural gas, NG, and mixtures of natural gas with a percentage of hydrogen, HCNG. The work is carried out to support the European research project called GasOn whose target is to realize a sustainable and more efficient mobility in Europe, improving the energy efficiency of the powertrain. The use of low carbon alternative fuels like HCNG, will play in fact a fundamental role on the de-carbonisation process and it is beneficial for the reduction of pollutant emissions. A powerful tool able to study the combustion process in engines is the Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, analysis: this approach is based on the theory of the fluid mechanics and it allows to solve problems related to fluid flows.
Nowadays, there are several software in the market able to run CFD simulations; the commercial code used in this work is CONVERGE, provided by Convergent Science GmbH (Austria) company where this thesis has been carried out
