Descripción
Evaporation, Combustion and Soot of Split Injection Diesel Spray in Free and 2D Cavity presents a comprehensive experimental investigation into the fundamental processes governing modern diesel spray combustion. Using advanced optical diagnostics—including laser absorption scattering (LAS) and two-color pyrometry—the book systematically examines how split injection strategies affect fuel evaporation, ignition, flame development, and soot formation under both free-spray and confined 2D piston-cavity conditions. Key parameters such as injection timing, split ratio, ambient density, and temperature are explored in depth, revealing the complex interplay between spray dynamics and cavity geometry. The work provides critical insights into the "catch-up" effect of secondary injection, the role of cavity-induced turbulence on mixing, and the spatial distribution of soot precursors. By bridging the gap between idealized free sprays and realistic engine-like geometries, this monograph serves as an essential reference for researchers and engineers working on low-emission diesel combustion, alternative fuel strategies, and optical diagnostics. The data-rich chapters offer quantitative validation benchmarks for computational fluid dynamics models and highlight pathways toward cleaner, more efficient compression-ignition engines.
