Abstract(E)	The insufficient level of atomization of the fuel drops in direct-injection engines is a major cause of pollutant emissions because of the incomplete combustion process. The fuel injection is a critical part of the homogeneous air-fuel mixture. It is well known that higher injection pressure enhances the atomization of the fuel; however, there are physical and technological limits to go further in this regard. Previous work was focused mainly on the swirl created by the spray flow, and on the avoidance of fuel drops coalescences and their impingement on the cylinder walls. This current paper proposes a new approach to reduce the diameter of the atomized fuel drops by colliding the fuel sprays in a cylinder arranged with 4 opposed injectors, in order to increase the breakup of the atomized fuel drops and therefore, to improve the homogeneity of the air-fuel mixture. This effect is estimated by means of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations with OpenFOAM®, under non-reacting and reacting conditions of the fuel. The results show a reduction of the atomized fuel drops by more than 25% compared to an engine equipped with a single injector. The goal is to standardize the numerical and computational models of this concept, to be applied in the next stage on big and low-speed diesel engines having more space to locate injectors radially to the cylinder, providing the growth of the potential of this kind of engines and eco-friendly energy generation.

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.

Search tips

When searching by author name, enter the first and last name separated by a space, such as "Taro Jidosha".
