An idle speed engine model has been proposed and applied for the development of an idle speed controller for a 125 cc two
wheeler spark ignition engine. The procedure uses the measured Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) at different speeds
at a constant fuel rate and throttle position obtained by varying the spark timing. At idling conditions, IMEP corresponds
to the friction mean effective pressure. A retardation test was conducted to determine the moment of inertia of the engine.
Using these data, a model for simulating the idle speed fluctuations, when there are unknown torque disturbances, was developed.
This model was successfully applied to the development of a closed loop idle speed controller based on spark timing. The controller
was then implemented on a dSPACE Micro Autobox on the actual engine. The Proportional Derivative Integral (PID) controller
parameters obtained from the model were found to match fairly well with the experimental values, indicating the usefulness
of the developed idle speed model. Finally, the optimized idle speed control algorithm was embedded in and successfully demonstrated
with an in-house built, low cost engine management system (EMS) specifically designed for two-wheeler applications. 相似文献

The accurate prediction of waterjet propulsion using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is of interest for performance analyses
of existing waterjet designs as well as for improvement and design optimization of new waterjet propulsion systems for high-speed
marine vehicles. The present work is performed for three main purposes: (1) to investigate the capability of a URANS flow
solver, CFDSHIP-IOWA, for the accurate simulation of waterjet propelled ships, including waterjet–hull interactions; (2) to
carry out detailed verification and validation (V&V) analysis; and (3) to identify optimization opportunities for intake duct
shape design. A concentrated effort is applied to V&V work and performance analysis of waterjet propelled simulations which
form the focus of this paper. The joint high speed sealift design (JHSS), which is a design concept for very large high-speed
ships operating at transit speeds of at least 36 knots using four axial flow waterjets, is selected as the initial geometry
for the current work and subsequent optimization study. For self-propelled simulations, the ship accelerates until the resistance
equals the prescribed thrust and added tow force, and converges to the self propulsion point (SPP). Quantitative V&V studies
are performed on both barehull and waterjet appended designs, with corresponding experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) data from
1/34 scale model testing. Uncertainty assessments are performed on iterative convergence and grid size. As a result, the total
resistance coefficient for the barehull case and SPP for the waterjet propelled case are validated at the average uncertainty
intervals of 7.0 and 1.1%D, respectively. Predictions of CFD computations capture the general trend of resistance over the speed range of 18–42 knots,
and show reasonable agreement with EFD with average errors of 1.8 and 8.0%D for the barehull and waterjet cases, respectively. Furthermore, results show that URANS is able to accurately predict the
major propulsion related features such as volume flow rate, inlet wake fraction, and net jet thrust with an accuracy of ~9%D. The flow feature details inside the duct and interference of the exit jets are qualitatively well-predicted as well. It
is found that there are significant losses in inlet efficiency over the speed range; hence, one objective for subsequent optimization
studies could be maximizing the inlet efficiency. Overall, the V&V work indicates that the present approach is an efficient
tool for predicting the performance of waterjet propelled JHSS ships and paves the way for future optimization work. The main
objective of the optimization will be reduction of powering requirements by increasing the inlet efficiency through modification
of intake duct shape. 相似文献

The wakes of high-speed passenger-only ferries that operated through Rich Passage, on the Seattle-Bremerton ferry route, caused
beach erosion and damage to habitat. A task was initiated to design a low-wake high-speed vessel using multi-fidelity CFD
based design optimization by using low-fidelity potential flow solvers for initial global design optimization and by using
URANS solvers for high-fidelity tuning of the optimized design. This simulation based design process involved a close collaboration
between ship designers, and hydrodynamics and CFD specialists, whose collective expertise guided the evolution of the design
based on both hydrodynamic and structural aspects. The initial hull shape optimization using potential flow code was carried
out by blending three different initial concepts provided by the designers. Subsequently, URANS was used to evaluate the potential
flow optimized hull and to further optimize the hull configuration parameters, namely, the centre-of-gravity, demihull spacing,
foil location, foil angle and slenderness ratio at different displacement conditions. The URANS based configuration optimization
also took into account the far field wakes’ energy spectrum with an objective of reducing the energetic, low frequency far
field wakes which are associated with beach flattening on the mixed sand and gravel beaches. Calculation of the far field
wake using URANS would require an unfeasibly large domain size; therefore, a Havelock code with a source distribution matching
the URANS calculated near field wave elevation was used to propagate the wakes into the far field. The end result of the optimization
was a design with significantly reduced far field wake, which is currently being built for experimental testing. 相似文献

This paper details the CFD validation studies carried out as a prerequisite for multi-fidelity CFD-based design optimization
of high-speed passenger-only ferries aimed at reducing far-field wake energy that causes beach erosion. A potential flow program
(WARP) and a URANS program (CFDSHIP) were validated using full-scale measurements of resistance, sinkage, trim, and far-field
wake train obtained over a wide range of speeds for two high-speed semi-planing foil-assisted catamarans: Spirit (LOA-22 m)
and 1060 (LOA-17 m). This study posed a unique combination of challenges for CFD modeling: the foil appended geometry required
complicated surface overset grids, the effect of the waterjet and wind resistance had to be modeled, and a method had to be
devised to extrapolate the calculated near-field elevation to get the far-field wake train using Havelock sources. A more
concentrated effort was applied to the URANS verification and validation which forms the focus of this paper. The results
show that URANS is able to accurately predict the resistance and motions for both vessels when coupled with models that account
for the propulsors and air resistance. The overall accuracy of URANS for the performance analysis of the foil-assisted, semi-planing
catamarans was adequate to warrant its use as a tool for subsequent design and optimization of a new vessel with significantly
reduced wakes. 相似文献
