direct injection spark ignition engines under part load conditions this paper discusses the in-cylinder flow
fields developed by running an optical engine with an early inlet valve closing strategy with a lift of 3.9 mm
that produces 3bar IMEP at 3500 rpm under firing conditions. The experimental facilities are similar to
previous work but measurement technique has been optimized with the significant aspect of this work being
that the flow fields were determined in three vertical planes and one horizontal plane to highlight the three
dimensional and the highly cyclic nature of the flow. These characteristics have significant impact on
the application of the PIV technique and data processing to ensure a high degree of confidence in
the flow fields generated. The time varying nature of this three dimensional flow field is discussed and
how it impacts on the PIV measurement technique particularly as regards data acquisition and data
processing. The true extent of the complex three dimensional flow field is readily seen and that, even though
the combustion chamber geometry is symmetrical, the swirl flow field is not. The main features of the
vertical flow structure are described over a crankangle period from 90oCA to 120oCA which
highlight the dominant feature as being a wall jet flow which interacts with the piston crown to
generate a strong reverse tumble flow.详细>
