Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

The work presented in this study aims to understand the spray-wall-flow interaction within a gasoline direct-injection (GDI) engine flow bench under simulated early-injection conditions. The Engine Combustion Network (ECN) Spray G injector is installed in the Darmstadt optically accessible engine flow bench. Under simulated early-injection conditions, the formation of a multi-hole spray and the interaction with characteristic intake flows, such as the intake jet and central tumble flow, are extensively discussed. By reducing the complexity in the number of variables inherent in engine flow and whole-engine simulation, an engine flow bench operating under various mass flow rates is applied in this study. The numerical simulation is carried out using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) under the Eulerian-Lagrangian framework for spray simulation. Experimental data, acquired through particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements, provides 2-D flow fields on both the central tumble and valve planes, facilitating the validation of in-cylinder flow fields. Furthermore, experimental data obtained through Mie scattering is utilized to investigate spray formation and evolution within the GDI engine, providing the liquid penetration length and liquid spray angle. Comparison between the numerical and experimental data demonstrates several agreements. Moreover, the variation of different spray plumes under different mass flow rates is observed in the case of both experimental and numerical data. Increasing the mass flow rate distorts the overall plume shape and shifts it away from the intake port. This phenomenon is examined by extracting the liquid volume fraction and vapor fields of each plume. Spray plumes encounter different convective disturbances and evaporation due to their local characteristic in-cylinder flow. Furthermore, spray-wall-flow interaction and wall film deposits are observed during the injection. Lastly, the influence of the spray-induced turbulence is analyzed under different mass flow rates.
