Reply To: why after adding a mooring system to a ship, there are multiple damping values

Dear,

It is a humble request. Can you please let me know how the IVC mixture in tutorial 2 (Dual fuel combustion modelling using a 60% sector mesh) of Forte was calculated? I followed the reference paper (Refernced at the end of the tutorial) and used the given values in the IVC calculator:

 

mass of gasoline = 104.96mg

mass of diesel = 23.04mg

Phi = 0.77

EGR = 0.455

However, I did not get the same values which are provided in the dual fuel tutorial. Can you please let me know how we can use the IVC calculator to find the mass fractions of species in a homogenous mixture of gases at IVC when gaseous fuel is premixed with the air and liquid fuel is injected directly into the cylinder?

 

Many thanks!
