Gasoline spark ignition (SI) – Controlled auto-ignition (CAI) hybrid combustion had previously been shown to expanding the operational range of high-efficiency low-temperature combustion and reducing fuel consumption. However, the spark ignition became ineffective when the mixture became highly diluted and the large cyclic variation and even misfire would occur. To achieve high-efficiency combustion in extended engine operational range and overcome the limitation of SI-CAI hybrid combustion, Micro Flame Ignition (MFI) was proposed and researched as a mean to providing multiple auto-ignition sites to initiate the combustion process of the diluted mixture. In this research, both engine experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out to study the MFI combustion and SI-CAI hybrid combustion in a single-cylinder optical engine. Compared to the SI-CAI hybrid combustion, the flame propagation in MFI hybrid combustion was initiated by a large number of reaction fronts produced by the DME auto-ignition at multiple sites. MFI was found to deliver substantially more heat and ignition energy to the premixed mixture than the single spark ignition, enabling much faster initial heat release. However, the flame front expansion speed of MFI hybrid combustion dropped significantly to a similar value to that of the SI-CAI case because of the slower flame speed of diluted gasoline mixture. The MFI combustion exhibited three phases of autoignition stage, flame propagation stage and fast heat release stage. It is characterized by a higher peak heat release rate and shorter duration of the main combustion than those of the SI-CAI combustion. Besides, the use of spark ignition in the MFI operation promoted the autoignition of DME, leading to a shorter combustion duration and faster combustion than the MFI combustion without spark ignition. As a result, the spark assisted MFI strategy could be used to control the combustion phasing and optimize the MFI combustion process.
