Abstract

In order to perform virtual analyses, especially for gas exchange and thermodynamic simulations, and to compare the results obtained with the measured data on the research engine, the virtual geometry should match accurately the one of the real engine. For this reason, the objective of the paper is to present a method for obtaining a high accurate 3D model of a real combustion chamber and other supplementary geometry due to the particular shape required for virtual simulations. The paper presents a method for obtaining an accurate 3D model of the combustion chamber using high end touch probe 3D scanning technology. The results obtained represent cloud point data available to be imported in most of the 3D design software. From here, the 3D model was reconstructed. Methods for reverse engineering are also presented, where complex, numerous points had to be managed.
