Based on a 2.2 L ammonia-fueled internal combustion engine equipped with an active pre-chamber, hydrogen was used as the pilot fuel, and the effects of different hydrogen injection parameters on combustion performance were analyzed via numerical simulation. The results indicate that compared with injection pulse width, hydrogen injection pressure and injection end timing have a more significant impact on combustion performance, particularly during the CA10-CA50 phase of the combustion duration. The research findings can provide a reference for the design of injection strategies for ammonia-hydrogen internal combustion engines.
