The combustion characteristics of a compression ignition engines working on a dual fuel mode are numerically investigated. The simulation has been done through a coupling of detailed chemical kinetic mechanism with the multidimensional reactive flow code KIVA-3V. The model has been validated with available experimental results to explore the predictive ability of the coupled model in simulating the combustion process of dual fuel engines. The simulation results show that dual fuel engine combustion and trend of NOx emissions are well predicted by the present multidimensional model. The results obtained from the simulations showed increased NOx emissions with decreased advanced injection timing of the pilot fuel as well as with increased intake charge temperature. It was found that increasing the intake charge temperature is more effective than advancing the injection timing of pilot fuel in improving the low load performance of dual fuel engines.
