Study of IC Engine Charge Motion Using PIV :

Charge motion within a IC Engine has a Significant effect on: Power Output Fuel Efficiency Exhaust Emissions The combustion behavior of internal internal-combustion combustion spark spark-ignition ignition (SI) engines is strongly dependent on: The quality of the mixture processing, which in turn is affected by the motion of the in-cylinder flow. Fresh charge, and residual gas resulting from the former combustion cycle, have to form a proper mixture. In addition, a certain level of turbulence is required at the time of ignition to perform an accelerated flame propagation and thereby a highly efficient combustion. Therefore, it is highly importance to collect detailed information on the incylinder flow field and its temporal development during the combustion cycle. PIV has proven to be a helpful tool in order to analyze the air-flow in the cylinder.

Introduction
Fluid motion within IC engine fundamentally affects engine performance and emissions. To analyze and optimize complex coupled processes inside and between automotive components and structure such as the reduction of a vehicle vehicles s interior or outer acoustic noise, including brake noise, and the combustion analysis for diesel and gasoline engines to further reduce fuel consumption and pollution. Deeper insight in modern engine combustion concepts such as flow generation, fuel injection and spray formation, atomization and mixing, ignition and combustion, and formation and reduction of pollutants. The need for an non-intrusive measurement system. Laser Assisted Diagnostics is an important tool for such measurements.
Engine Manufacturers are developing more fuel efficient, more refined and which produce lower amount of pollutants. Engine in-cylinder fluid motion is known to fundamentally affect the combustion process. It is important to understand combustion phenomenon p under different operating conditions such as valve deactivation, port injection and variable injection timing.
Objective
PIV Is used to investigate the in-cylinder fluid motions and its interaction with propagating flame in a production geometry pentroof multi-valve optical SI engine, fired using liquid fuel.
This allows mapping of the flame position and study of the fluid motion ahead of flame front.
Two color PIV is used to obtain full field instantaneous velocity data over planer regions within the combustion chamber with a spatial resolution of less than 1.5 mm. Si oil seed burn in the flame front hence it is possible to distinguish the burnt and unburned region of the inc inc-cylinder cylinder flow. The flow structures distribution were obtained with both open and closed inlet valve injection timing under normal running and with a single inlet port deactivated.

Tumble and Skewed Tumble Motion
Valve Jet Flow for: (1) Normal Running and (2) Valve Deactivated Conditions Conclusions Under normal running conditions some tumble flow remains after TDC, however, the bulk flow is highly three dimensional and exhibits a torroidal vortex-like structure. With a single inlet port deactivated, deactivated the bulk flow shows significant differences to normal running bulk flow structure and exhibits characteristics more like axial swirl and a three dimensional helical structure. Significant cyclic variations in large scale structure are observed, and are greatest under normal 4-valve running conditions. Fuel injection timing was not found to significantly affect the large scale flow structure ahead of the flame around TDC.

Scattering
Principle: When light interacts with matter different scattering processes can happen simultaneously or exclusively depending on chemical and physical properties of the scatterer. Therefore scattered light contains information about the material, it's size and environmental conditions like temperature. Mie imaging: elastic scattering; same wavelength as the incident light; intensity is proportional to the size of the scattering particles; for particles which are large compared to the wavelength of the incident light. Rayleigh imaging: elastic scattering; same wavelength as the incident light; intensity is proportional to the intensity of incident light, a material-dependant constant and the number density of particles; for particles are small compared to the wavelength of the incident light. R Raman i imaging i : inelastic scattering; shows a spectral response that is shifted from the laser line and characteristic for the Raman active molecules; do not suffer from collision quenching.
Applications
Mie Scattering : particle analysis (size, shape, distribution) flow analysis (velocity information PIV) spray analysis (particle size distribution and spray geometry) general imaging tasks Rayleigh Scattering: combustion processes pollutant formation total gas density temperature fields Raman Scattering: majority species concentrations space and time-resolved mixture fractions local temperature

Self Emission Spectroscopy

Principle: During combustion many species get excited due to the high temperatures involved, as their electrons come back to the ground state they emit light which can be resolved to give the fingerprint spectra studying which the type and concentration of the species can be determined The two-colour method relies on the measurement of the radiation intensity from soot particles which are generated during combustion. The radiation intensity can then be measured at two wavelengths. Applications Flame temperature, flame location & stability Spatial Soot concentration excited species distribution like OH*, CH*, C2* on-set of ignition
Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF)

LASER Induced Fluorescence (LIF)

Principle: the species of interest is excited using a LASER light of specific wavelength. the electrons move to a higher energy level, emits light at some characteristic wavelengths on returning, this is the fingerprint of the species. the emission spectrum is specific for the molecule. the incident light needs to match the energy levels of the observed molecule. molecule LIF signal is quite strong and can be filtered from the incident laser wavelength. LIF signal is proportional to the volume of a liquid droplet, leads to a direct measurement of the droplet size.
LIF and Scattering Spectra
Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF)

Molecules/atoms are excited to higher energy states. Intensity of fluorescence is a function of species concentration (number density), and the gas p and p pressure. temperature Fluorescence is linearly related to number density. Spectral absorption regions are discrete. Fluorescence occurs at wavelengths laser wavelength. A chemiluminescence detector (CLD) i used is d to t control t l the th intake i t k NO concentration during calibration measurements and for additional exhaust gas NOX concentration measurements for the different operating conditions. Selective detection of NO is possible even in inhomogeneous combustion environments like in direct injecting gasoline and diesel engines. This technique allows the effective suppression i of f interfering i t f i LIF signals i l due to hot oxygen and partially burned hydrocarbons. With this technique, influence of laser beam attenuation is minimized. The LIF images represent the NO concentration present in the plane defined by the position of the laser b beam whereas h the h exhaust h gas measurements represent averaged concentrations after homogeneously mixing the burned gases during the expansion and exhaust stroke.

Case Studies of LIF

LIF to visualize the flash boiling effects on the development of GDI engine sprays: LIF is used for spray characterization because of its possibility to differentiate between the liquid and the vapor phase. LIF can be combined with a long distance microscope so it is possible to analyze the spray propagation and evaporation directly at the nozzle orifice and the area nearby. Flash boiling effect causes a rapid spray breakup into a mixture of vapor and small droplets.

Planer LIF
A laser source, usually pulsed and tunable in wavelength, is used to form a thin light sheet. If the laser wavelength is resonant with an optical transition of a species, a fraction of the incident light will be absorbed. Absorbed photons may subsequently be reemitted with a modified spectral distribution. The emitted light, known as fluorescence, is collected and imaged onto a solid-state array camera. The light detected by a camera depends on the concentration of the interrogated species within the corresponding measurement volume and the local flow field conditions. This technique offers excellent temporal resolution (order of ns) and yields information along a thin (0.2 mm and better) 2-D plane.

Knock intensity is related to pressure traces. The pressure recorded during knocking operation is non-uniform throughout the cylinder. cylinder Analysis of such traces does not yield any spatial information about the selfignition process. Thus, optical techniques (e.g. PLIF) are used to obtain spatially and temporally resolved information.

Previously, it was impossible to decide about growth of structure. Also, measurements did not reveal if new ignition kernels appeared during the combustion event. High speed imaging system reveal distributed gradual consumption of fuel or reaction fronts that spread. The PLIF sequences shows a well-distributed gradual decay of fuel concentration during the first stage of combustion. During the later parts of the combustion process, the fuel concentration images present much more structure, with distinct edges between islands of unburned fuel and products. Intensity histograms reveals that the transition from fuel to products in the HCCI engine is a gradual process. The engine configuration, laser sheet orientation and air/fuel ratio do not influence the general results.
Laser Induced Incandescence (LII)
35
11/13/2013
LASER Induced Incandescence

Principle: intense laser light sheet is used to illuminate and slice the (reactive) particle flow at user defined locations. the particles within the light sheet are heated up to the carbon evaporation temperature (> 4000K). the resultant incandescence (blackbody emission) of the heated particles is detected with a fast shutter camera synchronized to the laser pulse. appropriate filtering and time-gating of the LII emission assure accurate soot volume fraction measurements. Mechanism: It involves heating the particles using an intense laser pulse to their sublimation temperature. A soot particle can absorb energy from the beam, which causes the particle particles s temperature to increase. increase At the same time, time the soot can loose energy. If the energy absorption rate is sufficiently high, the temperature will rise to levels, where significant incandescence and vaporization can occur. These thermal radiation, when collected after an appropriate time delay is found to be directly proportional to the local mass concentration under specific controlled conditions.
LASER Induced Incandescence

A technique used for exhaust emission measurements in engines. Planar imaging of soot distributions in steady flames and diesel sprays. LII gives a direct measure of the soot volume fraction (elemental carbon only). It is insensitive to other species. species However, sensitivity is limited only by the size of the measurement volume. Neither cooling nor dilution are required, and measurements can be made either in situ or by continuous sampling through an external optical cell. The LII technique is capable of real-time measurements during transient vehicle p for optimizing p g soot emissions operation performance. Also, this technique can be executed with other laser-based techniques to obtain particle size and number density information. Ensemble-averaging for many engine cycles can be used to reconstruct cycleresolved transient behavior.

Laser Holography
Sectional top view of optical cell for LII measurements
Principle of Holography Method

An object beam and a reference beam are required during recording. In-line method: The object beam also serves as the reference beam. It is used for droplet measurement. However, it is difficult to obtain a clear image in an area where ambient density or droplet density is high. high Off-axis method: The reference beam and object beam take different optical path. Interference fringes on the holographic plate are recorded by adjusting the difference of the optical path of object beam and reference beam. Reconstruction beam is incident on the holographic plate to reproduce the spray image in the space. Enlarged photograph is taken using CCD camera and diameter of each droplet is measured. Then the 3-Dimensional structure of the droplet is obtained.

To measure atomization: Laser holography method, Direct recording method, The PDPA method, and the Fraunhofer diffraction method. The holography method is a 3-D measuring method, which utilizes the interference of light. The Phase Doppler Particle Anemometry (PDPA) method utilizes the Doppler signal of the droplets. The Fraunhofer diffraction method obtains the distribution of the droplet diameter from the distribution of diffracted light. Laser holography method can record the shape of each droplet in the entire spray area and the spatial distribution with one recording.

Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV)

Data at a single point. Offers flexibility. It works in air or water. As micron-sized particles entrained in a fluid pass through the intersection of two laser beams, , the scattered light received from the particles fluctuates in intensity. The frequency of this fluctuation is equivalent to the Doppler shift between the incident and scattered light, and is thus proportional to the component of particle velocity. The velocity direction can be fixed if one of f the h laser l b beams h has a frequency slightly different from that of the other. The frequency is measured using digital computers or photon correlators or spectral analyzers. Applications: Measurements of rotor tip vortices using three-component Laser Doppler Velocimetry. LDV measurements in a boundary layer. Survey of a wake field. Measurements in a shock tube flow. flow Measurement of Diesel Spray Breakup Length Diesel spray characteristics by laser Doppler signals: Spray tip penetration and spray breakup length are simply obtained by measuring the delay time of Doppler signals from injection start to spray tip arrival at each measuring point. Spray breakup length is estimated by measuring the standard deviation of the delay time of Doppler signals, which indicates dispersion of the time from injection start to Doppler signal rising.
