본 연구는 SI기관 실린더 내의 유동장 변이 과정을 3차원 LDV 측정 기술을 사용하여 흡입과 압축과정 동안 정량적으로 분석하였다. 실험은 헤드에 각각 2개의 흡입밸브와 배기밸브를 갖는 기관이 모터링되는 공회전 상태에서 실시하였다. 지난 30년 동안 텀블과 스월은 실린더 내의 평균 유동 정량화에, 난류운동에너지는 난류 측정에 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 텀블은 solid body 회전 유동을 비교하는데 적절하며, 서로 다른 유동 패턴 비교에는 부적절 하다는 것이 보고되고 있는 실정이다. 3차원 LDV시스템의 우수한 공간 분석 능력은 순간적인 유동장구조와 더불어 상대적으로 미세한 유동장의 구조 까지도 측정이 가능 하도록 하였다. 따라서 측정한 결과로부터 유동장의 난류운동에너지 등가면을 계산할 수 있었다. 본 실험 결과는 실린더 내의 난류 유동장 특성을 난류운동 에너지 등가면 정보를 이용하여 세심하게 관찰할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.

Gas flow field within the cylinder which is called a tumble flow is important factor in improving lean combustion stability. In this study, steady state flow tests were performed to quantify tumble ratio of flowfields generated by a tumble intensifying valve(TIV). In addition, velocity and fluctuation profiles in an intake port and flowfields in th cylinder were inspected using a hotwire anemometer and a laser light sheet method with various TIV configurations. These experimental results show that installated TIV has a great effect on flow field distribution in an intake port and test effects enhance a tumble flow in the cylinder.

A 5-valve(intake 3-valve) engine has been developed to increase engine performance. These engines have a high power caused by the decrease of inertia mass of an intake valve and the increase of intake effective area. In this study, in-cylinder flow patterns were visualized with laser sheet method and velocity profiles at near intake valves were inspected by using a two-color PIV. In addition, steady flow tests were performed to quantify tumble ratio of flow-fields generated by a tumble control valve(TCV). Experimental results of steady flow test show that the cure of tumble ratio in intake 3-valve engine farmed as a S shape with valve lift changes. This tendency is different from the one in intake 2-valve engine. Using laser sheet method and two color PIV method, we can find that the intake flow through upper valve increases and the velocity gradient also slightly increases as valve lift increases. From this study, the in-cylinder flow characteristics around intake valves were made clearly.

From this results, the intake flow characteristics around intake valves were made clear.

The flow field inside a cylinder of four-valve Sl engine was investigated quantitatively using a three-dimensional Laser Doppler Velocimetry system, to determine how stroke changes affect the flow field. The purpose of this work was to develop quantitative methods which correlate in-cylinder flows to engine performance. For this study, the sane intake manifold, engine head, cylinder, and the piston were used to examine the flow characteristics in different strokes. Quantification of the flow field was done by calculating three major parameters which are believed to adequately characterize in cylinder motion. These quantities were TKE, tumble and swirl ratios. The LDV results reveal that flow patterns are similar, the flow velocities scale with piston speed but another parameters such as TKE, and tumble and swirl numbers are not the same for different stroke systems.
