Modeling the Effect of Primary Atomization on Diesel Engine Emissions

A study on the fuel injection and atomization characteristics of soybean oil methyl ester (SME)

“…Split injection is the injection strategy which an amount of single injection was divided into equal halves, injected individually. These factors have been investigated in previous studies Payri et al, 2004;Song et al, 2005), and the relationship between combustion and emission characteristics and spray and atomization characteristics have been expound upon by many researchers (Park et al, 2003;Yi et al, 2003).…”

Methodology for characterisation and simulation of turbocharged diesel engines combustion during transient operation. Part 2: Phenomenological combustion simulation

“…Diesel combustion simulation is a complex task that involves a lot of linked processes that only current 3D calculation methods have the ability of reproduce, although at the expense of a high computational effort and taking into account the necessity of a greater knowledge of some processes taking place. Multidimensional CFD models like KIVA [2,3] or the model of Reitz et al [4][5][6] fall into this group.…”

A comprehensive study on the effect of cavitation on injection velocity in diesel nozzles

“…The main reason for this effect is that the nozzle geometry has an influence on the internal flow and on the spray characteristics, particularly on the atomization [10,11] and mixing [12,13] processes. This is the main reason why there are lots of studies analyzing the effect of nozzle geometry on its internal and external flow [14,15].…”
