Book Description
Abstract : An efficient spray injection results in better vaporization and air-fuel mixing, leading to combustion stability and reduction of emissions in the internal combustion (IC) engines. The impingement of liquid fuels on chamber wall or piston surface in IC engines is a common phenomenon and fuel film formed in the spray-piston or cylinder wall impingement plays a critical role in engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the study of the spray impingement on the chamber wall or position surface is necessary. To understand the spray-wall interaction, a single droplet impingement on a solid surface with different conditions was first examined. The droplet-wall interaction outcomes, in particular focusing on the splashing criteria, were inspected and post-impingement characterizations including spreading factor, height ratio, contact line velocity, and dynamic contact angle was further analyzed based on the experimental data. The non-evaporation volume of fluid (VOF) model based on Eulerian approach was used to characterize single droplet impinging on the wall and provide a better understanding of the dynamic impact process. In addition, the study of droplet-to-droplet collision and multi-droplet impingement on a solid surface are performed, which is essential to aid in the spray-wall impingement investigation. As well, due to the evaporation drawing more attention during the engine combustion process, an evaporation VOF sub-model was developed and applied to multi-droplet impingement on a hot surface to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the vaporizing process as droplets impacting onto the hot surface. After that, the non-vaporizing and vaporizing spray characteristics of spray-wall impingement at various operating conditions relevant to diesel engines were undertaken, with spray characterized using schlieren and Mie scattering diagnostics, as well as Refractive Index Matching (RIM) technique. Free and impinged spray structures and deposited wall-film formation and evaporation were qualitatively analyzed, spray properties and wall-film properties were quantified, and surface temperature and heat flux were measured. An Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling approach was employed to characterize the spray-wall interactions by means of a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulation. The local spray characteristics in the vicinity of the wall and the local spray morphology near the impingement location were studied. Furthermore, multiple spray-to-spray collision derived from droplet-to-droplet collision, considering as one of the advanced injection strategies to enhance the engine performance, was studied at various gasoline engine conditions to explore the effect of colliding spray on spray related phenomena like atomization, vaporization, and mixing. Spray characteristics were obtained by the schlieren diagnostics and the experimental validated Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations were based on Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to understand the mechanism behind the collisions of sprays and characterize the different types of multiple spray-to-spray collision. In summary, on the strength of the study of droplet-wall impingement and droplet-to-droplet collision at non-evaporation and evaporation states, the main objective of this dissertation is to enhance the understanding of spray-wall impingement and multiple spray-to-spray collision under diesel or gasoline engine conditions from both experiments and CFD simulations, therefore providing feedbacks to the ultimate task in future development and application of a more reliable and effective fuel injection system.

Book Description
This book documents pioneering mathematical models introduced for the simulation of multi-component droplets heating and evaporation processes which are implementable into commercial CFD codes. These models, described as 'multi-dimensional quasi discrete' (MDQD) and 'discrete-component' models, were applied to automotive fuel droplets in experimentally measured internal combustion engine conditions for biodiesel, diesel, and gasoline fuels. For instance, it is shown that the suggested models lead to accurate predictions of temperatures and evaporation times in typical diesel and gasoline engine conditions. Such models have also reduced CPU time about 85% compared with cases when classical approaches are used.

Book Description
Three novel multicomponent fuel spray droplet evaporation models are developed by employing the theory of continuous thermodynamics(CT) with the aim of applying them in the design and analysis of various energy conversion devices such as, aircraft jet engines, liquid-fuel rocket engines, diesel engines, and industrial furnaces. The CT methodology seeks to represent complex mixtures - for example, aviation kerosene or JP8 that typically comprise blends of a large number of chemical compounds by using probability distribution functions (PDFs). The components of JP8, which is constituted by the homologous series of paraffin, naphthene, and aromatic hydrocarbons; are each represented by the Pearson-Shultz type three-parameter gamma PDF, where the three (shape, scale, and origin) parameters characterise changes in the mixture composition. The phase transition of the liquid droplet due to evaporation is modelled using both low-pressure (LP) and high-pressure (HP) vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) models employing various mixing and combining rules by applying a general cubic equation of state (CEOS). Interestingly enough, the phase transition of the liquid fuel into vapour mixture is characterised by a change in the PDF scale parameter alone. Once the description of the fuel mixture is complete, the traditional species and energy transport equations both for the liquid and vapour phases respectively, are re-written using the composition PDF moments under Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks. In order to solve the governing equations for the three droplet evaporation models, which characteristically involve phase change and a moving interface, a novel fully Adaptive Method Of Lines using B-Spline Collocation (AMOLBSC) is developed. The models are tested at various pressures, temperatures and convective conditions, including at a lean, premixed, prevaporised (LPP) combustor operating condition. In general, the computational results at an ambient pressure close to atmospheric sho.

Book Description
The objective of this thesis was to study the vaporization of a multicomponent spray with both experimental and numerical approaches. To achieve this objective, the effort was guided in two directions. Firstly, an experimental database has been created using different optical measurement techniques. A special attention was focused onto the application of Global Rainbow Refractometry (GRR), used for the measurement of droplets temperature. Secondly, numerical simulations were performed for mono and bi-component sprays in evaporation. In the first part of this study, experimental and numerical tests were carried out on a polydisperse nonconfined and cooling spray. This configuration was adopted because it allows the study of the vaporization with a reduced influence from the gaseous phase. For a bi-component liquid, the effect of the composition variation on the GRR measurements was analysed within a coupling between the experimental technique and the numerical simulation. In the second part, experimental investigations and numerical simulation were performed for a more complex configuration that consists in a spray evolving in a heated and confined medium. The gaseous phase was computed with a LES approach while the dispersed phase, always mono-component, was solved with a Lagrangian tracking approach . The unsteady nature of the flow was demonstrated and the interest of the GRR technique for the droplets temperature measurement was proved.
