cylinder of an internal combustion engine. Despite tremendous
progress in the field over the last 20 years, CFD is still far
from being as integral a part of the engine development
process as for example structural analysis using Finite Element
Methods (FEM) [1]-[4]. This has its origin in the extreme
complexity of the processes involved and the cross-scientific
nature of the problem. Engine CFD is one of the most
challenging simulation problems. This is caused by the high
quasi-cyclic unstationarity of engine flows, the importance of
minor geometric details, and the fact that the involved length
and time scales in engine processes spread over several orders
of magnitude making spatially and temporally resolved
measurements as well as direct numerical simulation (DNS)
very difficult[5]-[7]. Even if the latter were feasible, two more
difficulties would arise. One is the proper description of initial
and boundary conditions. The other is the chaotic nature of
turbulence, which in engineering is circumvented by using Figure 1. KIVA-3V structure

V CONCLUSIONS
(1) The extended simulation model was applied to simulate a
wide range of part load operating conditions, varying injection
timing and injection pressure, in a version of the 4JB1 DI
engine, for which an extended set of experimental data exists.
(2) The connection of multi-step model and one-step model
with large activation energy is able to predict three-
dimensional temperature field in a real DI engine.
