CFD INVESTIGATIONS OF MIXTURE FORMATION, FLOW AND COMBUSTION FOR MULTI-FUEL ROTARY ENGINE Von der Fakultät für Maschinenbau, Elektrotechnik and Wirtschafts-Ingenieurwesen der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität Cottbus zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Master of Science Husni Taher Izweik Geboren am 15.12.1954 in Zawia, Libyen Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr.-Ing. P. Steinberg Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. H.P. Berg Prof. Dr. E. Sigmund Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 18.11.2009 I dedicate this work to my family, my wife, and my children Abstract Powerful, smooth, compact and light combined with multi-fuel capability are the main features of the rotary engine. The Wankel engine superb power-to-weight ratio and reliability make it not only suitable for automobile application, but also particularly well suited to aircraft engine use and it can replace the reciprocating piston engine in many areas of use such as sport cars, motorcycle, boats, and small power generation units etc.
