Abstract

In direct injection spark ignition (SI) engines, the spray dynamics and interaction with the surrounding air flow are recognised as strongly affecting mixture quality, combustion development and amount of pollutants released at the exhaust. Spray impact against walls has also to be considered since undesired deposition of liquid as wallfilm causes unburned hydrocarbons and soot formation, hence increased fuel consumption and even augmented cyclic dispersion.
