An analytical model has been developed to predict the fuel-air mixing and burning characteristics of small direct injection (DI) diesel engines. Four mass and momentum conservation equations are written along the tangential and normal directions to the spray for both free and wall regions based on the continuum integral approach. The spray structure is multi-zonal and the simulation of atomization, droplet-size distribution, evaporation, turbulent mixing and combustion processes is included.
The model predictions show good correlation with the experimental data and respond well to the variations in input parameters. The level of predictions from the model is satisfactory and the model is quite suitable to optimize the injection characteristics bowl geometry and air motion in small DI diesel engines.
