It is well known that cavitation phenomenon in diesel injector nozzles has a strong influence
on the internal flow during the injection process and spray development. However, its …

In this paper, a special technique for visualizing the first 1.5 mm of the spray has been
applied to examine the link between cavitation phenomenon inside the nozzle and spray …

Despite the importance of sprays to engine combustion, understanding has been hampered
by the sensitivity of spray behavior to unknown nozzle geometry effects. The Engine …

The current work focuses on the study of the influence of pressure and temperature on three
important thermodynamic properties: speed of sound, compressibility and density of …

In this paper a combined experimental and computational study was carried out in order to
assess the ability of a homogeneous equilibrium model in predicting the experimental …

In recent years, the interests on transient operation and real driving emissions have
increased because of the global concern about environmental pollution that has led to new …

Pre-chamber spark ignition combustion has shown several advantages for its
implementation in engines, mainly related to its capability to achieve stable operation at lean …

A fully compressible two-phase flow model consisting of four balance equations including
two mass, one momentum, and one internal energy equation, formulated with the …

Transients in the rate of injection (ROI) with respect to time are ever-present in direct-
injection engines, even with common-rail fueling. The shape of the injection ramp-up and …

The influence of internal nozzle flow characteristics over macroscopic spray development is
studied experimentally for two different nozzle geometries and three fuels. The …
