Hydrogen active pre-chamber (H2-APC) jets igniting ammonia (NH3) provides a promising pathway for efficient NH3 combustion. However, the effect of gas flow exchange between main chamber (MC) and APC, as well as the synergistic optimization strategies for NH3-H2 mixture preparation and H2 jet flame evolution on enhancing NH3 engine efficiency remains unclear. This study conducts a numerical investigation to analyze the effect of intake vortex, in-cylinder NH3-H2 mixture reactivity, H2 injection and spark timing strategies within APC on engine performance, and further summarizes the efficiency improvement pathways of large-bore NH3-H2 engine. NH3-H2 mixture and air are separately supplied through split-channel supercharge and fuel-air mixing technology with different intake swirl ratios. Results indicate that under 5 % H2 blend with NH3 and an excess air ratio (λ) of 1.6, increasing in-cylinder swirl intensity, H2-APC jet flames penetrate axially with higher speed while vortex-induced mixing promotes radial flame expansion. This synergistic flame propagation accelerates combustion and reduces unburned NH3 emissions. When H2 is injected at −150°CA aTDC with an injection energy of 1.5 %, a near-stoichiometric mixture forms around spark plug inside APC, resulting in a peak indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) of 46.06 %. Furthermore, increasing H2 blending ratio to 20 % yields further enhancement in combustion characteristics but along with increased NOX emissions. Then extend lean combustion of λ to 2.0 through optimized spark timing, a maximum ITE of 46.2 % is achieved along with suitable emissions.
