Spray impingement and fuel film formation models were developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code. STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the change of behaviour with surface temperature conditions and the fuel film formation. We divided the behaviour of fuel droplets after impingement into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and the parameter K. The Spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Validation of the models was conducted using previous diesel spray experimental data and the present experimental results for the gasoline spray impingement. In all the cases, the prediction compared reasonably well with the experimental results. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to the spray/wall impingement in high speed direct injection diesel engines.

VCO nozzle is devised to minimize the HC emission and has been applied on some HSDI diesel engines. But it is not well reported whether VCO nozzle would be advantageous over SAC nozzle in a small HSDI diesel engine. In this paper it is presented that characteristics of VCO and SAC nozzle under common rail fuel injection system and their effects on the performance in a small HSDI diesel engine.

This study presents the process of the solenoid parameter estimation of an common-rail injector fer HSDI(High Speed Direct Injection) diesel engines. The EMF(Electromotive Force) and solenoid inductance are the major parameters for presenting the injector dynamics, and also these parameters are estimated by using a multi-layer feedforward artificial neural networks(ANN). The performances of parameter estimators are verified by the simulation with injector model. The feasibility of this methodology is closely examined through the simulation in the various operating points of injector. The simulation results have revealed that estimated parameters show favorable agreements with the common-rail injector model.

The common-rail fuel injection system is becoming a common technology for High Speed Direct Injection(HSDI) diesel engines. The injection timing and rate are important factors for combustion control and pollutants formation mechanisms during engine operation. This paper introduces an estimation methodology of the injection timing and rate of a common-rail injector for HSDI diesel engines. A sliding mode observer that is based on the nonlinear mathematical model of the common-rail injector is designed to overcome the model uncertainties. The injector model and the estimator we verified by relevant injection experiments in an injector test bench. The simulation and the experimental results show that the proposed sliding mode observer can effectively estimate the injection rate of the common-rail injector.

Ignition delay of second injection of HSDI diesel engine was usually much shorter than that of first injection. It is due to the interaction between radicals generated during the combustion process, and mixed gas of second injection. In this paper, To analyze combustion phenomena of multiple injection mode in HSDI diesel engine effectively, two-dimensional flamelet combustion model was modified. To reduce calculation time, two-dimensional flamelet equations were only applied near stoichiometric region. If this region was ignited, species and temperature of other region were changed to the steady-state solutions of one dimensional flamelet equations. By this method calculation time for solving flamelet equations was reduced to 20 percents, thought the results were almost same. Modified flamelet combustion model was coupled to commercial CFD code interactively using user subroutine.

New reduced chemical kinetic mechanism for prediction of autoignition process of HSDI diesel engine was investigated. For precise prediction of the ignition characteristics of diesel fuel, mechanism coefficients were fitted by the experimental results of ignition delay of diesel spray in a constant volume vessel. Ignition delay of diesel engine on various operation condition was calculated based on the new reduced chemical mechanism. The calculation results agreed well with experimental data.

Great attentions are paid to HSDI diesel engine for passenger cars because of its high thermal efficiency. The most interesting research in HSDI diesel engine developments is focused on applying common rail system as a fuel injection equipment. In this study, a series of tests are carried out to investigate the effect of injection pressure variation on the smoke and fuel concluded in a small HSDI diesel engine with common rail system. As a result of this study it is concluded that there is an optimum rail pressure dependent on combustion system such as nozzle type, combustion chamber geometry.

Research and development of LP EGR system for the performance improvement and emission reduction on diesel engine is proceeding at a good pace. LP EGR system seems to be helpful method to further reduce$NO_x$ emissions while maintaining PM emissions at a low level because the boost pressure is unchanged while varying EGR rate. This study is experimentally conducted on a 2.0L common rail DI engine at the medium load condition (2000 rpm, BMEP 1.0 MPa, boost pressure 181.3 kPa) that difficult to use large amount of EGR gas because of deteriorations of performance and fuel consumption. And we investigated the characteristics of performance and fuel consumption while varying EGR systems. The overall results using LP EGR system equipped with ETC identified benefits on reduction of PM and improvement of fuel consumption and thermal efficiency while keep the $NO_x$ level compared to HP EGR and LP EGR with back pressure valve.
