However, the measurement of droplet velocities in the dense region of Diesel sprays is very difficult or impossible by means of widely used laser diagnostic techniques, in particular under engine-like high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The limitations of phase Doppler anemometry （PDA） and particle image velocimetry （PIV） prevent the application to the ultra-dense region of the spray. It was demonstrated that these problems can be greatly reduced by the laser flow tagging （LFT） technique. It was also demonstrated recently that LFT measurements can be conducted in clustered Diesel jets with improved spatial resolution and increased number of simultaneous measurements in the near-nozzle region. In the present work, the nozzle design, the temperature and pressure of the ambient air, and the fuel rail pressure are varied, in order to investigate the influence on the near-nozzle jet velocity and the underlying physical mechanisms.展开更多

The experimental results show that the time when the vortex ring structure of flash boiling spray forms and its developing process are determined by the combined action of the bubble growth and breakup in the spray and the air drag on the leading end of spray; with the enhancement of nozzle opening pressure, the spray tip penetration increases and the spray angle decreases. The influence of nozzle hole diameter on the spray tip penetration is relatively complicated, the spray tip penetration is longer with a smaller nozzle hole diameter at the early stage of injection, while the situation is just opposite at the later stage of injection.
