Fuel spray in the MPI gasoline injector and its atomization characteristics are investigated with both macroscopic and microscopic visualization systems. The Bosch injector is inserted into an air-assist spray adapter which is designed to be fabricated and assembled easily. particle motion analysis system is used to measure the SMD of injector, where the assistant air pressure is varied from 0.0 to 1.5bar with fuel pressure 2.8bar. Droplet size decreased with higher air pressure and fine fuel spray with below $60{\mu}m$ of SMD is acquired at the assistant air pressure over 0.5bar.

The characteristics of free spray with ultra injection pressure was analyzed to clear the limit pressure of diesel engine. To obtain final goal, ultra high pressure injection equipment was developed, spray patterns were visualized under various ultra injection pressures. Spray penetration and spray width, volume and entrained air mass were increased with the increase of injection pressure. Sauter mean diameter and injection durstion wert decreased. But over 3,000bar of ultra injection pressure region the rates of increase show almost similar and finally the reversed tendencies at 4,140bar.

In this study, experimental study on atomization characteristics of the fuel spray impinging on the wall was at different wall distances and angles of wall inclination. The fuel injection system was composed based on the common rail system. and the injection signal was synchronized by the delay generator. The atomization characteristics of the injected spray were analyzed in terms of the SMD and velocities which were measured by using the phase Doppler particle analyzer system. It is revealed that the free spray is atomized actively above 50mm form the injector tip. In the cases of the impinged spray, the 5MD and velocity of the impinged spray are smaller than those of the free spray. The impinged spray has the maximum near the 35mm of the radial distance from the injector axis, and the atomization performance is enhanced with the decrease of the wall distance.

A this experimental study is executed to analyze spray characteristics for air-shrouded injector and 4hole 2spray type injector used in a gasoline engine. Since spray parameters including spray penetration and angle, SMD, and atomization characteristics are very important to increase the engine performance, the image processing algorithm for measuring the non-spherical spray diameter is developed. Spray characteristics of the air-shrouded injector(2hole 2spray) and 4hole-2spray injector are analyzed respectively by this digital image processing method. Effective spray characteristics to injectors is derived from this experimentation and obtained the design guide for gasoline injector.

Spray characteristics of charge injected 2-fluid nozzle for non-conducting liquid have been studied. Spray current, specific charge and SMD of diesel have been measured. Spray current and specific charge are proportional to applied voltage. Air flow did not effect on spray current and specific charge. SMD decreases as air flow rate increases and decreases as applied voltage increases additionally. Spray angle increases as applied voltage increases. Fine droplets are obtained by charge injected 2-fluid nozzle without charge loss.

A diesel spray overall SMD (Sauter mean diameter) in a spray chamber was simulated with CFD by varying the compression ratio in the spray chamber from 18:1 to 100:1. The gas densities of the spray chambers for the compression ratios of 18:1 and 100:1 were 17.97 and $74.8kg/m^3$, respectively. Standard KIVA-3V code was used for the CFD simulation. Various fuel injection patterns such as single injection, pilot injection and split injection were used for the CFD simulation. Fuel injection pressures for the simulated diesel sprays are 90 and 120 MPa. As the compression ratio increases, the CFD simulated SMD was decreased, which was generally in agreement with previous experimental studies.

Biodiesel fuel has different spray patterns, because viscosity and surface tension of biodiesel fuel are higher than that of diesel fuel. The diesel combustion is strongly controlled by the fuel spray behavior in combustion chamber. So, it was needed to understand the spay characteristics of non-esterification biodiesel fuel. In this study, the spray characteristics of non-esterification biodiesel fuel was investigated to confirm of an effect of WDP. The characteristics of fuel atomization was analyzed with SMD and span factor through laser diffraction particle analyzer (LDPA), and the process of spray injection was visualized through the visualization system composed of a halogen lamp and high speed camera. It was found that injection delay time and SMD of blended fuel with WDP get shoter and smaller than that of non-esterification biodiesel fuel.

The objective of this study was to verify the experimental and numerical results of spray evolution injected from different types of the nozzle-hole geometries. Spray visualization was taken by high speed camera under the different conditions. For the simulations of spray tip penetration, turbulence, evaporation and break-up model were applied K-zeta-f, Dukowicz and Wave model, respectively. Also, the prediction accuracy of spray tip penetration was increased by varying the spray cone angle. At the same time, the results of this work were compared in terms of spray tip penetration, and SMD characteristics. The numerical results of spray evolution process and spray tip penetration showed good agreement with experimental one.

An evaporating diesel spray of a common rail lnjector was visualized by LIEF technique. This technique makes it possible to separate the vapor and liquid phase images. The experiment was conducted in a constant volume vessel to make a high temperature and high pressure condition. Three images(vapor and liquid phase images from LIEF and a liquid phase image from Mie scattering) were taken simultaneously in one spray event. The major experimental parameters are the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure. Also, a relative SMD distribution in a liquid phase was obtained by the ratio of the intensities of the fluorescence and the Mie scattering. The results show that the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure have a close relation with the spray development and air-fuel muting process.

Correlations of drop size and velocity in a spray from the disintegration of liquid jet and liquid film from an internal mixing twin-fluid atomizer, were determined by phase Doppler method. The distribution pattern of Sauter mean diameter(SMD) in a spray was changed by a behavior of liquid flow. As smaller droplets became faster and slower easily by the surrounding conditions, the correlation between drop size and mean velocity was found to be varied as next 3 steps; firstly smaller droplets have a higher mean velocity at the area near atomizer, droplets have almost the same mean velocity and finally larger droplets have a higher mean velocity at the area far from an atomizer.
