The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions
the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to …

The sprays from a high-pressure multi-hole nozzle injected into a constant-volume chamber
have been visualized and quantified in terms of droplet velocity and diameter with a two …

The performance of multi-hole injectors designed for use in second-generation direct-
injection gasoline engines has been characterised in a constant-volume chamber. Two …

The effects of fuel temperature on both the geometry and the droplet size and velocity of a
GDI swirled injector spray were investigated by means of visualizations and PDA …

Linear Raman scattering has been used for the investigation of the mixture formation inside
an optically accessible gasoline direct injection spark ignition engine. The concentrations of …

In this chapter, several of the diagnostic techniques commonly used to investigate
combustion phenomena are reviewed, and a brief survey is provided of the mechanical …

This paper presents a measurement technique to visualize the distribution of the in-cylinder
mixture temperature and an experimental approach for analyzing the effect of the …

For optimum efficiency, the direct injection (DI) gasoline engine requires two operating
modes to cover the full load/speed map. For lower loads and speeds, stratified charge …

The sprays into atmosphere from a GDI injector were visualised and the velocity and droplet
characteristics measured at an injection pressure of 50 bar and at different injection …

The optimization of the vaporization and mixture formation process is of great importance for
the development of modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, because it influences …
