The effects of injection pressure and ambient pressure on biodiesel spray characteristics were studied by coupling the in-nozzle flow, and a constantvolume combustion bomb experimental platform was built to verify the accuracy of the coupled numerical model. Spray tip penetration (STP), spray velocity, and droplet size/number distribution of biodiesel were calculated at different injection pressures (200, and environmental pressures (0.1, −0.5, −1.0, and −2.0). The sensitivity to injection pressures and environmental pressures was analyzed with particle concentration as the characteristic parameter. With the increase of injection pressure, the STP of biodiesel increased by 5%, which resulted in a faster decrease in the increasing rate of STP (V ). Under the same conditions, with the increase of injection pressure, the axial and radial velocities of fuel droplets gradually rose, and the high-speed area was enlarged, while the number of droplets and Sauter mean diameter (SMD) space generally decreased. Compared with the injection pressure, the environmental pressure significantly inhibited the STP and velocity of biodiesel, and the increasing rate of STP (V ) decreased gradually and the number of droplet particles and SMD rose with the increase of the environmental pressure.

“…The hybrid breakup model we recently developed is adopted to model the PFI spray atomization. 44 Firstly, a definition of breakup length, L bu , is introduced to distinguish the primary and secondary breakup of the atomizing spray. The droplet parcels within L bu undergo the primary breakup, while those outside L bu undergo the secondary breakup.…”

This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical study on the fuel deposition characteristics during the Port fuel injection (PFI) spray impingement process. The numerical models mainly consisted of a newly developed atomization model, the Senda spray impingement model, and the Bai-Gosman liquid film model. A group of measurement methods were used to hierarchically calibrate and validate the numerical models. It was found that the calibrated models were able to predict the time-resolved morphology of the impinging spray, as well as the shape, area, and thickness distribution of the deposited fuel film with a good reliability. Then the calibrated models were used to study the effects of impingement distance ( Lw) and impingement angle ( θw) on the fuel film deposition. The results showed that as Lw increases, the film area ( Af) and film mass ( mf) rise faster and reach higher final values. As θw increases, Af and mf grow slower, and their final values are hugely reduced. Increasing Lw and decreasing θw can effectively reduce the average film thickness ( hf,a). Af is mainly affected by the contact area between the spray plumes and the impinging wall, while mf is also affected by the dominant droplet-wall interaction regime.

In this work, an effective numerical simulation method was developed and used to analyze the effects of natural gas mixing ratio and pilot-main injection, main-post injection, and pilot-main-post injection strategies on the combustion and emission characteristics of diesel engine fueled with dual fuel. Firstly, the one-dimensional calculation model and three-dimensional CFD model of the engine were established by AVL-BOOST and AVL-Fire, respectively. In addition, the simplified chemical kinetics mechanism was adopted, which could accurately calculate the combustion and emission characteristics of the engine. The results show that the cylinder pressure and heat release rate decrease with the increase of the natural gas mixing ratio and the NOx emission is reduced. When the NG mixing ratio is 50%, the NOx and CO emission are reduced by 47% and 45%, respectively. When the SODI3 is 24 °CA ATDC, the NOx emission is reduced by 29.6%. In addition, with suitable pilot-main injection and pilot-main-post injection strategies, the combustion in the cylinder can be improved and the trade-off relationship between NOx and soot can be relaxed. Thus, the proper main-post injection strategy can improve the combustion and emission characteristics, especially the reduction in the NOx and CO emissions.
