The Anatomy of Knock

Abstract: The combustion process after auto-ignition is investigated. Depending on the non-uniformity of the end gas, auto-ignition could initiate a flame, produce pressure waves that excite the engine structure (acoustic knock), or result in detonation (normal or developing). For the "acoustic knock" mode, a knock intensity (KI) is defined as the pressure oscillation amplitude. The KI values over different cycles under a fixed operating condition are observed to have a log-normal distribution. When the operating condit… Show more

“…3,[9][10][11][12] Consequently, knock onset and knock intensity also show significant cyclic variations. 4,13 This article also draws attention to the stochastic nature of knock and superknock, which in particular, needs to be understood and described in probabilistic terms.…”

“…McKenzie and Cheng 29 of MIT proposed a knock intensity model based on the Bradley XI-Epsilon concepts, but in a simplified form with parameters determined by fitting to experimental data. This leads to a correlation of experimental knock intensity with the local rate of heat release at the time of auto-ignition where the heat release is represented by the inverse ignition delay.…”

“…Unintended autoignition of the end-gas due to pressure and temperature effects causing distributed regions that reach the point of combustion form the most common type of abnormal combustion typically described as knock. Other forms, such as pre-ignition from an unintended ignition source such as lubricating oil and combustion chamber deposits, or destructive detonation wherein a strong pressure wave creates local compression, driving combustion at sonic speeds, also fall under the general description of "knock", but will not be treated in this work (McKenzie & Cheng, 2016).…”
