Assessment of soot particle-size imaging with LII at Diesel engine conditions

Assessment of soot particle-size imaging with LII at Diesel engine conditions

Two-time-step laser-induced incandescence (LII) imaging was performed in Diesel engine-relevant combustion to investigate its applicability for spatially-resolved measurements of soot primary particle sizes. The method is based on evaluating gated LII signals acquired with two cameras consecutively after the laser pulse and using LII modeling to deduce the particle size from the ratio of local ...

Soot Modeling in Diesel Engine

This paper presents an advanced version of the original software developed by the author in order to simulate the combustion in the Diesel engines, focusing on simulate soot formation. Complex kinetic mechanisms are need for realistic modeling of shoot formations, but this is applicable only for simple flame computations (e.g. one dimensional, laminar, etc.). For real turbulent flame calculatio...

Recent developments in laser-induced incandescence (LII) for soot diagnostics in high-pressure laminar flames and engine-like Diesel combustion

The analysis of soot formation and oxidation is essential for Diesel engine development to meet future pollutant emission reduction requirements. In recent years laser-induced incandescence (LII) has developed to a powerful tool for soot diagnostics in flames, even in the challenging environment of Diesel combustion. This work presents some recent applications of LII for soot particle sizing in...

Extinction-based Imaging of Soot Processes over a Range of Diesel Operating Conditions

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Combustion Process, Soot and NOx formation In a Direct-injection Diesel Engine

This paper is presented to study the combustion process and emissions in a direct injection diesel engine. Computations are carried out using a three-dimensional model for flows, sprays, combustion and emissions in Diesel engines. Interactions between combustion and emissions with flow field are considered and it is shown that soot mass fraction increases at regions with low turbulence inten...
