Figure 8
Two characteristic frames of in situ monitoring of fuel injection dynamics, with a perpendicular injection geometry (top) and an inclined injection geometry (bottom). The perpendicular geometry shows a more narrow jet atomization (i.e. spatial spread) with respect to distance from the injection nozzle in comparison with the inclined geometry. Such a spatial distribution can lead to a weak velocity gradient and an increased spray penetration, leading to wetting of the engine walls before combustion. Velocities in excess of 150 ms−1 in the interior of the spray have been measured using multi-bunch exposures. |
