Abstract: Replacing gasoline with aviation kerosene for spark-ignition (SI) piston engines applied for aircrafts can get better security and easier logistics, however, this action cannot proceed smoothly by serious knocking combustion. In this study, the in-cylinder combustion for gasoline and aviation kerosene are investigated through computed-fluid-dynamics (CFD) to analyze combustion characteristics, and try to use pre-chamber technology to improve combustion issues.
