Towards Large Eddy Simulation in Internal-Combustion Engines: simulation of a compressed tumble flow.

The development of the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) 3D CFD code AVBP to yield a CFD tool able to predict cyclic variability in Internal Combustion (IC) engines is reported. In a first step the implementation of an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method into AVBP is described, allowing to move solid boundaries. Then the principles and implementation of the Conditioned Temporal Interpolation (CTI) mesh management technique is described, and some specific adaptations for LES simulations are discussed. Finally a first validation of the so obtained LES IC engine code is presented by comparing predictions with findings on the square piston experiment.
