Simulation of DPF Media, Soot Deposition and Pressure Drop Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique of computing the pressure drop and deposition rate evolution during soot loading and the 3D distribution of deposited soot particles for micro-structured ceramic filter media is presented. Methods developed at Fraunhofer ITWM for generating 3D computer models representing the microstructure of the filter material and for computing soot particle deposition in the microstructure models are described.

Lattice Boltzmann simulation on porous structure and soot accumulation
In this study, using the lattice Boltzmann method, we simulate soot accumulation in porous media to examine the particle trap in a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The porous media are numerically formed for different inner structure with given porosity. The porous structure similar to the real sample, Ni-Cr metal, can be obtained, where the pressure fields in both cases are almost the same. In...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann simulation on continuously regenerating diesel filter.
To reduce particulate matter (PM) including soot in diesel exhaust gas, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed. Since it is difficult to observe the phenomena in a DPF experimentally, we have conducted a lattice Boltzmann simulation. In this study, we simulated the flow in a metallic filter. An X-ray computed tomography (CT) technique was applied to obtain its inner structure. The...
متن کاملLB simulation on soot combustion in porous media
Although diesel engines have an advantage of low fuel consumption in comparison with gasoline engines, several problems must be solved. One of the major concerns is that diesel exhaust gas has more particle matters (PM) including soot, which are suspected to be linked to human carcinogen. As one of the key technologies, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed to reduce PM in the af...
متن کاملLoading and Regeneration Analysis of a Diesel Particulate Filter with a Radio Frequency-Based Sensor
Accurate knowledge of diesel particulate filter (DPF) loading is critical for robust and efficient operation of the combined engine-exhaust aftertreatment system. Furthermore, upcoming on-board diagnostics regulations require on-board technologies to evaluate the status of the DPF. This work describes the application of radio frequency (RF) – based sensing techniques to accurately measure DPF s...
متن کاملDiesel Exhaust After-Treatment by Silicon Carbide Fiber Filter
To reduce particulate matter (PM) in diesel exhaust gas, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed. The thermal durability of existing platinum catalyst-supported DPFs is inadequate. We are focusing on a non-catalytic after-treatment of silicon carbide (SiC) fibers with highly thermal durability. In this study, we simulated the processes of soot deposition and oxidation. Results show...
