Numerical analysis about atomization and wall impingement process of hollow-cone fuel spray is performed by a modified KIVA code with hybrid model. The atomization process is modeled by using hybrid breakup model that is composed of Linearized Instability Sheet Atomization(LISA) model and Aerodynamically Progressed Taylor Analogy Breakup(APTAB) model. The Gosman model, which is based on the droplet behaviors after impingement determined by experimental correlations, is used for spray-wall impingement process. The LIEF technique was used to compare the results with those of experiment. The calculations and experiments are carried out at the ambient pressures of 0.1 MPa and 0.5 MPa and the ambient temperature of 293K. It was found that the calculated results show satisfactory agreement with experimental ones.

액체 연료 로켓엔진의 인젝터에 대한 연구는 연소 효율과 안정성 향상에 초점을 두어왔다. 그 중 충돌분사형 인젝터는 구조가 매우 간단하면서 많은 유량의 연료를 분사시킬 수 있기 때문에 개발 초기부터 많은 연구가 이루어졌으며 실제 여러 엔진에 응용된 바 있다. 그동안의 충돌분무에 대한 연구는 주로 제트의 충돌시 생기는 액막의 분열 과정을 이해하는 데에 관심이 있어 왔으며, 아직까지는 실험적 기법에 기초하여 근사적인 분열 모델을 제시하는 데에 그치고 있다.

NUFLEX is a general purpose thermo/fluid flow analysis program which has various physical models including spray. In NUFLEX, spray models are composed of breakup and collision models of droplet. However, in case of diesel engine, interaction between wall-film and impingement model considering heat transfer is not coded in NUFLEX. In this study, Lee & Ryou impingement & wall-film model considering heat transfer is applied to NUFLEX. For the verification of this NUFLEX program, numerical results are compared with experimental data. Differences of film thickness and radius between numerical results and experimental data are within 10% error range. The results show that NUFLEX can be used for comprehensive analysis of spray phenomena.

In this report, the heat transfer model of spray cooling on hot surface was developed by focusing on the effect of rebound motion of droplets. In the model, it was assumed that droplets rebound repeatedly on the hot surface and heat transfer upon droplet impact is proportional to sensible heat which heats up the droplets to the saturation temperature. In addition, to take account of the contribution of th heat flux upon impact of rebound droplets, it was assumed that the rebound droplets are distributed following the Gaussian distribution from 0 to L, which distance L is determined by maximum flight distance $L_{max}$. Also the calculated results were compared with existing experimental results.

A spray-wall impingement model for fuel sprays is proposed and implemented as a module into the KIVA-POSTECH code. The model is based on the single droplet experiments. The droplet behaviors after impingement are determined from experimental correlations. Different behaviors of impinged droplets depend on the wall temperature and the critical temperature of the fuel. Fuel film formation is taken into account so that the model can be applicable to any wall temperature and injection conditions. Computational results on a normal and on inclined wall are in good agreement for the spray shape and penetration. More validation against experiments and development of the heat transfer model are needed for further improvement.

The present article proposes a new droplet collision model including the stretching separation regime and the formation of satellite droplets. The new model consists of several equations to calculate the post-collision characteristics of colliding droplets and satellite droplets. These equations are derived from the energy balance of droplets between before and after collision. For binary collision of water droplets, the new model shows good agreement with experimental data far the number of satellite droplets.

In the present study, to determine the flow rate of droplets supplied to heat transfer surface after (j-1)th rebound, $D_X[j{\ge}2]^{\ast}$, it was assumed that the rebound droplets are distributed according to the Gaussian distribution from 0 to L, in which the flight distance L is determined by maximum flight distance $L_{max}$. We also assumed that $L_{max}$ is dependent on the air flow velocity and mean size of droplets. The local heat flux of a dilute spray in high temperature region was predicted using the newly evaluated $D_X[j{\ge}2]^{\ast}$. In addition, the predicted results by the present model were compared with the existing experimental data.

The present article investigates the influence of droplet drag models on predictions of diesel spray behaviors under ultra-high injection pressure conditions. To consider drop deformation and shock disturbance, this study introduces a new hybrid model in predicting drag coefficient from the literature findings. Numerical simulations are first conducted on transient behaviors of single droplet to compare the hybrid model with earlier conventional model. Moreover, using two different models, extensive numerical calculations are made for diesel sprays under ultra-high pressure sprays. It is found that the droplet drag models play an important role in determining the transient behaviors of sprays such as spray tip velocity and penetration lengths. Numerical results indicate that this new hybrid model yields the much better conformity with measurements especially under the ultra-high injection pressure conditions.

Predictions of the fuel spray dispersion and mixing processes are very important to improve the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in GDI engines. Numerical and experimental analysis of the sprays with a swirl injector have been conducted. A numerical analysis is carried out using KIVA-II code with modified spray models. Experimental measurements are performed to show the global spray images and the local images near nozzle tip using laser sheet visualization technique. Computed and measured spray characteristics such as spray width, tip penetration are compared, and good agreements can be achieved. The spray head vortex is stronger as the injection pressure increases, but numerical calculations cannot show the head vortex properly.
