This paper presents characteristics of steady flow by variation of a combustion chamber and an intake port. Gas flow field inside a combustion chamber is the important factor in improving combustion stability and reduction of emission level. The flow characteristics such as flow coefficient, tumble ratio and swirl ratio are measured by the steady flow rig test with an impulse meter in this study. In the measuring, the valve lifts are varied between 1mm to 10mm. The three combustion chambers and two intake ports were applied to the steady flow apparatus in order to investigate the effect of swirl and tumble on the in-cylinder flow. As a result, tumble ratio were found to be different by variation of the combustion chambers and the intake ports. The data from the present study can be applied to design of a similar engine as basic data.

본 논문은 반 쐐기형 연소실에서 포트형상에 따른 정상유동 특성을 비교한 연구의 두 번째로 유동 평가위치의 영향을 고찰한 것이다. 입자영상유속계로 반 쐐기형 연소실에 직선형 포트와 나선형 포트를 적용하여 측정위치를 헤드 밑면부터 하류로 보어의 1,75배 위치 즉 1.75B부터 6배 위치 즉, 6.00B까지 변경하면서 평면유속을 측정하였다. 속도분포 분석 결과 반 쐐기형 연소실을 채택하면 지붕형과 달리 동일 리프트에서 거시적 유속분포와 유선은 스월 거동 중심은 측정위치가 관계없이 거의 일정하다. 직선형 포트에서는 모든 측정위치에서 편심도는 충격식 스월 측정기에서 측정값 왜곡이 발생하는 범위에 들어오고, 나선형 포트에서도 리프트 4mm 이하에서는 모든 측정위치에서 편심의 영향을 무시할 수 없지만, 측정위치가 3.00B 이상이 되면 리프트 5mm 이상에서 편심도가 급격히 감소한다. ISM가정과의 속도분포 차이에 의해 직선형 포트의 리프트 4mm 이하 스월 중심 평가를 제외하고 모든 PIV 평가방법에서 ISM 평가 대비 상대적인 상쇄효과가 있다. 마지막으로 중심 설정과 축 방향 속도분포 가정은 스월 평가에 정성적 영향을 주지 않고, 구체적인 접선속도 분포형태에 따라 절댓값에만 영향을 준다.

The intake swirl motion, as one of dominant effects for an engine combustion. is very effective for turbulence enhancement during the compression process in the cylinder of 2-valve engine. Because the combustion flame speed is determined by the turbulence that is mainly generated from the mean flow of the charge air motion in intake port system. This paper describes the experimental results of swirl flow and combustion characteristics by using the oil spot method and back-scattering Laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) in 2-valve single cylinder transparent LPG engine using the liquid phase LPG injection. For this. various intake port configurations were developed by using the flow box system and swirl ratios for different intake port configurations were determined by impulse swirl meter in a steady flow rig test. And the effects of intake swirl ratio on combustion characteristics in an LPG engine were analyzed with some analysis parameters that is swirl ratio. mean flow coefficient, swirl mean velocity fuel conversion efficiency. combustion duration and cyclic variations of indicated mean effective pressure(IMEP). As these research results, we found that the intake port configuration with swirl ratio of 2.0 that has a reasonable lean combustion stability is very suitable to an $11{\ell}$ heavy-duty LPG engine with liquid phase fuel injection system. It also has a better mean flow coefficient of 0.34 to develope a stable flame kernel and to produce high performance. This research expects to clarify major factor that effects on the design of intake port efficiently with the optimized swirl ratio for the heavy duty LPG engine.

Recently, the HSDI (High Speed Direct Injection) diesel engine has been spotlighted as a next generation engine because it has a good potential for high thermal efficiency and fuel economy. This study was carried out to investigate the in-cylinder flow characteristics generated in a HSDI diesel engine with a 4-valve type cylinder head. The four kinds of cylinder head were manufactured to elucidate the effect of intake port geometry on the in-cylinder flow characteristics. The steady flow characteristics such as coefficient of flow rate $(C_{f})$, swirl ratio (Rs), and mass flow rate (m,) were measured by the steady flow test rig and the unsteady flow velocity within a cylinder was measured by PIV. In addition, the in-cylinder flow patterns were visualized by the visualization experiment and these results were compared with simulation results calculated by the commercial CFD code. The steady flow test results indicated that the mass flow rate of the cylinder head with a short distance between the two intake ports is $13\%$ more than that of the other head. However, the non-dimensional swirl ratio is decreased by approximately $15\%$. As a result of in-cylinder flow characteristics obtained by PIV and CFD calculation, we found that the swirl center was eccentric from the cylinder center and the position of swirl center was changed with crank angle. As the piston moves to near the TDC, the swirl center corresponded to the cylinder center and the velocity distribution became uniform. In addition, the results of the calculation are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Tumble flow test rig has been used as the useful tool in the developing intake system because major flow pattern induced by intake port of DOHC engine is tumble. Angular momentum of in-cylinder tumble flow can not be directly measured by impulse torque meter in the test rig like that of in-cylinder swirl flow due to rotational axis of the flow. Therefore the adaptor to transform tumble to swirl flow must be adapted in the test rig. In this study, using the commercial CFD code STAR-CD, we studied the effects on measured results due to the variation of the major design variables in the adaptor, tube length(L), tube diameter(D) and cylinder height(H). The effect of the attached angle($\theta$) of the test head to the adaptor also was simulated.

This paper is the forth investigation on the evaluation methods of flow characteristics in a steady flow bench. In the previous works, it was concluded that the assumption of the solid rotation might cause serious problems and both of the eccentricity and the velocity profile distort the flow characteristics when using the ISM at 1.75B plane. Also particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurement at this position showed that the real velocity profile was far from the assumption of ISM evaluation. In this paper, the planar velocity profiles were measure from 1.75B to 6.00B position by PIV and the characteristics were examined according to the valve angles and lifts for further investigations about the effect of the position on the velocity profile. The results show that $26^{\circ}$ valve angle is always an unique exceptional case in all aspects. If the valve angle is $21^{\circ}$ and below, the planar velocity profiles according to the lift and the position are similar to each other, however, the tangential velocity curves along with the radial direction have common tendencies up to $16^{\circ}$ angle. Also the well arranged swirl behaviors are generally observed at the position above 3.00B and the velocity contour lines come closer to the concentric circle as the valve lift increases. In addition, the gradient of tangential velocity along with the radial direction from the swirl center becomes stable and constant as the position goes downstream. Concurrently the velocity gradient is larger to the eccentric direction of the center. In the meantime the tangential velocity curves along with the radial direction are irregular and various at 1.75B, however, they become regular and reach higher level as the evaluation position goes downstream. At this time the curves of 4.50B are the best fitted to the ideal one. On the other hand in an exceptional case, $26^{\circ}$, the velocity contours are very complicated over 6mm valve lift regardless the position and the gradient increases to the opposite direction of the eccentric center. Also, 6.00B is a best fitting position in the geometrical cylinder center base. With respect to the swirl center, the distribution range of centers for 1.75B is different to that for the other positions and the eccentricities of this plane are larger regardless the valve angle. After 1.75B, there is no certain tendency in the center position change according to the valve angle and lift. Additionally, the eccentricities are not sufficiently small to neglecting the effect on ISM measurement.

In-cylinder flows such as tumble and swirl play an important role on the engine combustion efficiencies and emission formations. The tumble flow, which is dominant in current high performance gasoline engines, is able to effect fuel consumptions and emissions under a partial load condition in addition to the volumetric efficiency under a wide open throttle condition. Therefore, it is important to optimize the tumble ratio of a gasoline engine for better fuel economy, lower emissions, and maximum volumetric efficiency. First step for optimizing a tumble ratio is to measure a tumble ratio accurately. For a tumble ratio measurement, many different methods have been developed and used such as steady flow rig, PIV, PTV, and LDV. However, it is not well known about the relations among the measured tumble ratios using different methods. The purpose of this research is to correlate the tumble ratios measured using three different methods and find out merits and demerits of each measurement method. In this research the tumble flow was measured, compared, and correlated using three different measurement methods at the same engine: steady flow rig; 2-dimensional PIV; and 3-dimensional PTV water flow rig.

본 논문은 반 쐐기형 연소실에서 포트 형상에 따른 정상유동 특성을 비교한 연구의 첫 번째로 통상적인 충격식 스월측정기 평가위치인 1.75B에서 입자영상유속계로 반 쐐기형 연소실에 직선형 포트와 나선형 포트를 적용하여 평면유속을 측정하고 비교하였다. 속도분포 분석 결과 직선형 포트에서는 밸브리프트 4 mm 이하, 그리고 나선형 포트에서는 2 mm 이하에서 두 개의 스월이 형성되고 이후 리프트가 증가하면 하나의 스월만 관찰된다. 리프트에 따른 유동체계의 천이점이 포트형상에 따라 상이하여 직선형 포트에서는 리프트 4 mm와 5mm를 경계로 유동 특성이 완전히 바뀌는 반면, 나선형 포트에서는 리프트 증가에 따라 점진적 변화만 관찰된다. 또한 모든 포트에서 1.75B 위치에서 편심도는 측정값이 왜곡되지 않는 범위에 들어오지 않고, 특히 직선형 포트의 편심도가 매우 크다. 동시에 포트형상에 관계없이 ISM 평가와 상응하는 실린더 중심 기준의 평균접선속도는 ISM 평가에서 가정한 속도보다 매우 낮고, 속도분포 특성도 ISM 평가의 가정과 매우 다르다.
