In HCCI mode with negative valve overlap, the understanding of the engine behavior in case of misfire and delayed combustion is important to provide a complete control strategy. A hybrid continuous zero dimensional model for gasoline HCCI, based on simplified chemical kinetics and a separate airflow model is introduced. CHEMKIN is used to simulate the chemical kinetics, whereas the airflow and the injection is simulated using MatLab. The model is compared to experimental data. The introduced model is used to analyze the effect of misfire and late combustions on the dynamics of the system. A state transition map is proposed to distinguish between misfire with and without recovery. Control strategies to improve the misfire recovery are suggested.
