An experimental and numerical study was performed to investigate the macroscopic and microscopic atomization characteristics of high-speed diesel spray issued from the common-rail injection system. For the experiments, spray visualization system and a phase Doppler particle analyzer system were utilized to obtain the spray atomization characteristics such as the process of spray development, spray tip penetration, and SMD distribution. In order to analyze the process of spray atomization with KIVA-3 code, the TAB breakup model is changed to the KH-DDB competition model, which assumes the competition between the wave instability and droplet deformation causes the droplet breakup above the breakup length. The calculated results were also compared with the experiments in terms of spray tip penetration and SMD distribution. The results provide the process of spray development, axial and radial distribution of SMD, and calculated overall SMD as a function of time after start of injection.

This paper presents the effect of injection pressure on the atomization characteristics of high-pressure injector in a direct injection gasoline engine both experimentally and numerically. The atomization characteristics such as mean droplet size, mean velocity, and velocity distribution were measured by phase Doppler particle analyzer. The spray development, spray penetration, and global spray structure were visualized using a laser sheet method. In order to investigate the atomization process in more detail, the calculations with the LISA-DDB hybrid model were performed. The results provide the effect of injection pressure on the macroscopic and microscopic behaviors such as spray development, spray penetration, mean droplet size, and mean velocity distribution. It is revealed that the accuracy of prediction is promoted by using the LISA-DDB hybrid breakup model, comparing to the original LISA model or TAB model alone. And the characteristics of the primary and secondary breakups have been investigated by numerical approach.

PLLIF(Planar Laser Liquid Induced Fluorescence) 기법은 분무장을 교란시키지 않고 고해상도의 2차원 질량분포를 빠르게 측정할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 기계적인 분무 분포 측정방법의 한계를 극복하였을 뿐만 아니라 접근이 불가능하였던 인젝터 근방의 분무에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 레이저 광을 받은 액적에 의한 산란광의 강도가 클 경우에는 인접한 액적들을 형광시킬 수 있고 액적의 형광신호가 액적들을 통과하면서 감쇠되는 이차산란에 의한 오차는 PLLIF 기법의 정량화에 가장 큰 난점으로 인식되고 있다. 특히 이러한 현상은 분무 분포의 밀도가 높고 액적의 크기가 클수록 강하게 나타나는데, 액체로켓에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 like-doublet 인젝터는 이러한 분무 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 Mechanical Patternator 및 PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer)로부터 측정한 like-doublet 인젝터의 분무 질량 분포 결과와 비교하여 이차산란에 의한 오차를 파악하여 PLLIF 기법의 적용 가능성을 진단하였다.

This study investigates the influence of energizing duration on the fuel atomization characteristics of biodiesel injected through a high pressure common-rail injector. In order to analyze the effect of energizing duration on the fuel injection rate performance, the injection rate of biodiesel fuel is obtained from the pressure variation in the tube filled with fuel in injection measuring system. On the other hand, the atomization characteristics of biodiesel was measured and compared in terms of Sauter mean diameter(SMD), arithmetic mean diameter(AMD), droplet mean velocity, and detected droplets number by applying a phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA). It was revealed that the injection mass and maximum injection rate increase with increase of the energizing duration. Moreover, the increase of energizing duration improves the atomization performance of biodiesel fuel because it induces higher droplets momentum and velocity.

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.

The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a flash boiling spray is expected when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa 98K). The axial velocities. radial velocities. and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Sprays were macroscopically observed by using the high speed camera in case that the surround pressure is 0.37MPa and 0.15MPa. respectively. Compared with the conventional spray. the reversed results were investigated when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane.

A new stratified charge combustion system has been introduced and developed for GDI engines. Before this new GDI system, the stratified mixture was formed by a high pressure swirl injector. But, the special feature of new system is employed of a thin fan-shaped fuel spray formed by a slit type nozzle. Also, this system has been adopted a shell-shaped piston cavity. We made high pressure gasoline injection system and investigated the fan-shaped spray characteristics such as spray tip penetration, spray angle, SMD and velocities of droplets using PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system and spray visualization system to obtain the concept of the new design and the fundamental data for the next generation GDI system. The experiment was performed at the injection pressures of 5 and 9MPa under the atmospheric condition.

'Backhole' is an extra empty volume where is located behind the tangential entries at the rear par of the vortex chamber in the swirl coaxial injector. With the backhole, there are three major hydraulic characteristics. First, mass flow rate is increased about $15{\%}$ compared with the case without the backhole. Second, with the backhole, the center region of the injected flow has more large volume than that of without the backhole. The last, some range of the cone angle can be controlled by the backhole Experiments are conducted by using a PDPA apparatus, a mechanical patternator, stroboscopic photography and etc. With the backhole, based on cold-flow tests, the model swirl injector has some Improvement in its performance.

In the analysis of the mass distribution and SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter), planar laser imaging technique Is a convenient and useful one when compared to the mechanical patternator or PDPA (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer). But for the accurate usage of this laser technique, it is required to compensate the signal attenuation and to find the attenuation coefficients. In the present research, we considered effects of the spray distributions on the attenuation coefficient and improved the accuracy of planar laser imaging technique by the reduction of errors issuing from the signal attenuation.

The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a kind of flash boiling spray is expected when the back pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa at 298K). The ambient pressure was held at a pressure above(0.37MPa) and below(0.15MPa) the fuel vapor pressure. The axial velocities, radial velocities, and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. The PDPA measurement showed a smaller SMD at the 0.15MPa chamber pressure, compared to the 0.37MPa case. Log-hyperbolic density function for the droplets size distribution can be fitted to the experimental results of a liquefied butane spray.
