For the favorable performance of a D.I. diesel engine, it is important to improve the mixture formation process and the ensuing early stage of combustion process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of a cavity digged in a piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The cavity would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of turbulence of air and by the impingement of fuel spray on the cavity wall. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) From an aspect of thermal efficiency, it is effective to inject the spray tangentially to the cavity wall to enlarge the area of spray evaporation. (2) some deductions obtained from previous investigations using a hot air stream duct are supported by the present results. For example, it is effective for the quick development of flames throughout the combustion chamber to mix the evaporated fuel of main spray with the intermediates brought about by the early stage of combustion of the preceded auxiliary fuel spray.

To achieve efficient combustion within a manageable length, a successful fuel injection scheme must provide rapid mixing between the fuel and airstreams. The aim of the present numerical research is to investigate the flame holding and combustion enhancement. Additional fuel into the cavity prevents shear flow impingement on the trailing edge of the cavity. The high temperature freestream flow mixes with the cold hydrogen fuel that is injected into the cavity and raises the fuel temperature remarkably and become to start combustion. The high pressure in the cavity due to the cavity structure and combustion leads the hydrogen fuel to upstream. The shock in the cavity to be generated by the fuel injection joins together and reflects off the ceiling wall. This makes high pressure and low mach number region and makes a small recirculation in this region. This high stagnation temperature is nearly recovered in the shear layer in front of the cavity and leads to start combustion. In the downstream of the cavity, the wall pressure drops significantly. This means that the combustion phenomenon is diminished. Because fuel lumps at the trailing edge of the cavity then it spreads after the cavity so, in this region there is a strong expansion.

Understanding of the impinging behavior of an electrically charged spray is essential in determining appropriate operating conditions for electro-spraying of paints, surface coating materials and insecticides. In the present work, as an initial step, the wall impact of an electrically charged droplet has been experimentally investigated. The charged drops were directed on the surface of a paraffin wax, and the impinging behavior was visualized and recorded using a CCD camera to identify the impingement regime. The spread-rebound boundary for the charged drop turned out to be smaller compared to that for an electrically neutral droplet under the same surface condition. The shift of the transition criterion is considered to be due to the discrepancy between the maximum spread ratio of the electrically charged droplet and that of the neutral droplet.

The heat transfer and flow measurements on a pedestal encountered in chip cooling. A uniform wall temperature boundary condition at the plate surface and on a pedestal was created using shroud method. Liquid crystal was used to measure the plate surface temperature. The jet Reynolds number (Re) ranges from 11,000 to 50,000, the dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distance (L/d) from 2 to 10, and the dimensionless pedestal diameter-to-height (H/D) from 0 to 1.0. The results show that the Nusselt number distributions at the near the pedestal exhibit secondary maxima at $r/d{\cong}1.0\;and\;1.5$. The formation of the secondary maxima is attributed to an create in the vortex by the pedestal.

A numerical study of underexpanded jet and impingement on a wall mounted at various distances from the nozzle exit is presented. The 3-dimensional Wavier-Stokes equations and κ-ω turbulence equations are solved. The grids are constructed as overlapped grid systems to examine the distance effect. The DADI method is applied to obtain steady-state solutions. To avoid numerical instability such as the carbuncle phenomena that sometimes accompany approximate Riemann solver, the HLLE+ scheme is employed for the inviscid flux at the cell interfaces. A goal of this work is to apply a number of two-equation turbulence models based on the w equation to the impinging jet problem.

In this paper, we report the numerical and experimental solutions of the axi-symmetric flows in the axial plane driven by an impingement of fluid from the bottom wall of a circular cylinder. We managed to visualize successfully the flow pattern shown on the vertical plane through the container axis. The numerical results are not show to compare well with the experimental results for the case of the Rossby number 3. Because the numerical results calculate on the assumption that vortex flows are axi-symmetric flow on the other hand real experimental results are show asymmetric flow. The numerical solutions reveal that inertial oscillation plays an important role at small Rossby numbers, or at a larger background rotation.

A numerical study of underexpanded jet and impingement on a wall mounted at various distances from the nozzle exit is presented. The 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and $\kappa-\omega$ turbulence equations are solved. The grids are constructed as overlapped grid systems to examine the distance effect. The DADI method is applied to obtain steady-state solutions. To avoid numerical instability such as the carbuncle that sometimes accompany approximate Riemann solver, the HLLE+ scheme is employed for the inviscid flux at the cell interfaces. A goal of this work is to apply a number of two-equation turbulence models based on the $\omega$ equation to the impinging jet problem.

In this study, the flow field, spray structure, and combustion process were investigated in a direct injection diesel engine having an offset bowl in a combustion chamber. The KIVA-3V code was used in this study. In order to obtain accurate results, a droplet atomization model, wall impingement model, and ignition delay concept were added to KIVA-3V code. The results showed that the offset bowl engine had a large vortex flow. The direction of this flow counteracted to the direction of fuel injection in one side of combustion chamber. It decreased local turbulent kinetic energy and eventually nonuniform combustion was resulted in an offset bowl engine. In comparison with a center bowl engine case, the peak cylinder pressure was decreased about 6%. Finally , the effect of swirl on combustion was investigated in an offset bowl engine . As the became stronger, the nouniform characteristics in combustion were increased.

The effects of EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) on heavy-duty diesel engine performance, NO and soot emissions were numerically investigated using the modified KIVA-3V code. For the fuel spray, the atomization model based on the linear stability analysis and spray wall impingement model were developed for the KIVA-3V code. The Zeldovich mechanism for the formation of nitric oxide and the soot model suggested by Hiroyasu et al. were used to predict the diesel emissions. In this paper, the computational results of fuel spray, cylinder pressure, and emissions were compared with experimental data, and the optimum EGR rates were sought from the NO and soot emissions trade-off. The results showed that the EGR is effective in suppressing NO but the soot emission was increased considerably by EGR. Using cooled EGR, soot emission could be enhanced without worsening of NO.
