Focus of this study is the numerical simulation of turbulent auto-igniting liquid fuel sprays at Diesel engine relevant conditions. A state-of-the-art combustion model based on Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) has been interfaced with a broadly established three-dimensional flow field solver and the performance and validity of this methodology is tested by means of three different comprehensive sets of experimental data. The first validation is carried out by comparison of predicted ignition delays with experimental data from an open constant volume combustion chamber. Both two-dimensional (2D) and homogeneous (0D) formulations of the CMC equations have been investigated and the influence of the spatial transport terms is analysed. For all ...
