The thesis presents a computationally efficient spray model for hollow cone sprays suitable for engine system simulation of direct injecting gasoline internal combustion engines.
The model describes the transient evolution of the spray as a two-phase jet. Spatial gradients are resolved along the main injection direction. Momentum exchange, droplet heat-up, and fuel evaporation are accounted for. Diffusive transport of momentum, energy, and fuel species mass between the dense spray zone and its environment is modelled by means of a boundary layer description. The model accurately describes the penetration behaviour of the two-phase jet resulting from the hollow cone injection.
The modeling is based on a detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The CFD model is validated against experiment both by the transient penetration behaviour and by the gas velocity field outside of the dense spray.
