The effect of transient needle lift on the internal flow and near-nozzle spray characteristics for modern GDI systems investigated by high-speed X-ray imaging

Dmitrii Mamaikin et al.

Summary: The development of injector nozzles involves complex internal flow dynamics that impact spray characteristics, yet remain not fully understood due to their intricate nature. High-speed X-ray imaging was used to study internal flow and primary jet breakup, revealing interesting phenomena such as needle overshooting and liquid jet deviation. visualized in the primary jet breakup region.

Hydraulic flip in a gasoline direct injection injector and its effect on injected spray

Raditya Hendra Pratama et al.

Summary: The study investigated the hydraulic flip phenomenon and how different thicknesses of hydraulic flip affected spray characteristics, including velocity distribution, flow coefficients, turbulence intensity, spray dispersion, and SMD. The results showed that thinner hydraulic flip led to higher discharge coefficient, lower turbulence intensity, slightly worse atomization, slightly narrower spray angle, and more uniform spray velocity distribution.

Ball Motion and Near-Field Spray Characteristics of a Gasoline Direct Injection Injector using an X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging Technique under High-Injection Pressures

Mengzhao Chang et al.

Summary: This study visualized the ball (needle) motion and near-field spray characteristics of a gasoline direct injection injector under different injection conditions, and analyzed the effect of the injector's internal structure on these characteristics. It was found that the ball tilts during stable motion and holes with smaller inlet angles display better atomization characteristics.

Nozzle Tip Wetting in GDI Injector at Flash-boiling Conditions

Weidi Huang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that post-injected fuel caused by needle bouncing is a primary source of nozzle tip wetting under non-flash-boiling conditions. Rising fuel temperature under non-flash-boiling conditions does not significantly impact spray dynamics and tip wetting. Under flash-boiling conditions, nozzle tip wetting rapidly increases during fuel injection, reaching a maximum under transitional flash-boiling conditions.
