차량 DPF 배기시스템 내 공기를 수반한 배기가스 유동장 분석 Exhaust Gas Flow Field Analysis in a Automobile DPF System with Air Flow for Fuel Combustion
pp.1134-1141
Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the flow field characteristics for exhaust gas in automobile engine DPF system. The DPF system performance is largely affected by exhaust gas flow while it passes through the complicated geometry of DOC/DPF system, fan shape structure, and perforated can with air for fuel combustion. Hence the characteristics of fluid velocity, pressure, and streamline are analyzed with velocity uniformity in front of DOC and swirl flow near the fan. It can be seen that the velocity uniformity increases with the gas flow rate including flow acceleration near the lower area of the fan. The air flow also influences the gas flow distribution close to the impeller and fan structure with complicated swirl flow. These results are expected to be applicable as fundamental design data for automobile engine exhaust system.
