In order to promote the quality of mixture and improve the fuel spray spatial distribution, enhancing airflow movement in a combustion chamber, a new swirl chamber combustion system in DI (direct injection) diesel engines is proposed based on conical-spray. Numerical simulations have been conducted by using the FIRE v2008 code. Several different widths of passage and spray angles are investigated in a single cylinder 135 diesel engine. The combustion and emissions performance were investigated by different conical-spray nozzles and combustion chambers with a constant compression ratio. The results show that using this combustion system, the mixture formation and combustion processes have been improved by a certain longitudinal swirl when the air is squished into the swirl chamber through the relative narrow passage. Moreover, the formation of homogeneous mixture is accelerated and the combustion is improved compared with that of conventional combustion system. The cases show the passage width of 5mm and conical spray cone angle of 140° has a better performance in the new combustion system.

The simulation of direct injection diesel engines requires accurate models to predict spray evolution and combustion processes. Several models have been proposed and widely tested for traditional injection strategies characterized by single injection pulse close to top dead center. Unfortunately, these models show some limits when applied to different injection strategies so that a correct simulation of engine performances and emission cannot be achieved without changing variables included in spray and combustion models. The aim of the present investigation is to improve the prediction capability of the KIVA3V code in case of pilot injection in order to use numerical simulations to define optimized pilot injection strategies. This goal was achieved by eliminating the hypotheses of constant fuel density and constant spray angle in the KIVA3V code and by using a modified version of the Shell model. The proposed modifications to the Shell model allow a better description of low temperature kinetics by the addition of two more radicals and three new kinetics reactions. The improvements in the code were verified by comparing experimental data and numerical results over a wide range of operating conditions including single injections, pilot injections and EGR.

The H2 internal combustion engine (ICE) is a key technology for complete decarbonization of the transport sector. To match or exceed the power density of conventional combustion engines, H2 direct injection (DI) is essential. Therefore, new injector concepts that meet the requirements of a H2 operation have to be developed. The macroscopic free stream behavior of H2 released from an innovative fluidic oscillating nozzle is investigated and compared with that of a conventional multi-hole nozzle. This work consists of H2 flow measurements and injection tests in a constant volume chamber using the Schlieren method and is accompanied by a LES simulation. The results show that an oscillating H2 free stream has a higher penetration velocity than the individual jets of a multi-hole nozzle. This behavior can be used to inject H2 far into the combustion chamber in the vertical direction while the piston is still near bottom dead center. As soon as the oscillation of the H2 free stream starts, the spray angle increases and therefore H2 is also distributed in the horizontal direction. In this phase of the injection process, spray angles comparable to those of a multi-hole nozzle are achieved. This behavior has a positive effect on H2 homogenization, which is desirable for the combustion process.
