LDV measurements of the flow inside the combustion chamber of a 4-valve D.I. diesel engine with axisymmetric piston-bowls (original) (raw)

Experiments in Fluids, 1996

Abstract

LDV measurements of the tangential and radial velocity components have been performed to investigate the flow patterns inside a 4-valve single cylinder diesel engine for various engine speeds, swirl numbers and piston-bowl geometries, under conditions similar to those of a production engine. The work focused on the near-wall region of the axisymmetric combustion chambers where the strong swirl-squish and spray-wall interactions take place. The different axial flow stratification observed in both velocity components has confirmed the influence of piston shape and intake configuration on the flow patterns and turbulence levels near compression TDC. Measured values are in reasonable agreement with those provided by a two-zone phenomenological model.
