Popis: The current paper describes a study of combustion in the Bishop rotary valve engine by means of computation simulations. The combustion model was developed for this research at speeds up to 18 000 r/min and the results from the simulation were compared with experimental data. Sensitivity studies were performed in order to investigate the parametric effects on the combustion simulation of the engine. The major finding of this study was that convection of the flame kernels occurs and has a strong influence on the performance of the engine. The results indicated some insights as to how the combustion process of the engine can be improved.
