In this work, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to investigate whether spray–wall interactions could be responsible for this result. Comparison of the spray...

... timings, while parts of the diesel spray should still be able to ignite freely. As the entrainment of the diesel spray into the gas jet occurs close to the nozzle where the impulse is large, ignition is probably inhibited as well for crossing jets and negative gas injection time delays when swirl motion...

... and temperature. The study reveals that the quality of the diesel pilot ignition in terms of short ignition delay and a high number of ignited sprays significantly depends on the injection parameters and operating conditions. In most cases, the pilot fuel suffers from too high dilution due to its small quantity...

The spray of urea solution was characterized in terms of velocity distribution by means of particle-image velocimetry. Results were compared with theoretical predictions and calculation options for processes...

To get a close insight into the emission formation processes in water-injected flames, local concentration measurements are used to calculate distributions of the reaction progress variable. Finally, to clarify the influence of spray quality on the composition of the exhaust gas, a variation...
