Field of pressure in zone contact elements assembly PRC stationary quantification

One of the most common worldwide rubbing couple which performs plane-turning motion is a pair of selling rings - cylinder sleeve of a Piston - Ring- Cylinder (PRC) system of a combustion engine. It explains the necessity of performing investigations concerning the phenomenon occurring in rubbing couple PRC. One of the most important issues is the friction losses as well as losses of the working medium from the combustion chamber. Mathematical models of gas flow in the PRC are described in the literature differ in the way of description and scope of the phenomena taken into account. In this paper approach to determine the flow spaces between the rings considering the effect of the geometry of the PRC system has been proposed. Investigation conducted with aid of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) were aimed on determination of flow resistance within the surface between the piston, rings, and cylinder liner. Aim of the study was achieved - The pressure field. it has been found that it is possible to determine the pressure field in the space of the PRC system basing on the approximation of the generalized transport equations for a discrete geometric model using the finite volume method. The precision of the results depends on the account in the form of boundary conditions as well as external conditions.
