Abstract
This study investigates the ignition and combustion characteristics of interacting hydrogen (H2) and diesel surrogate jets under simulated compression-ignition engine conditions. The experimental setup includes two converging single-hole injectors in an optically accessible constant-volume combustion chamber (CVCC). The parameters varied in the study are fuel injection durations and ambient O2 concentrations (10 to 21 vol.%). The results show that a longer interaction between the diesel products and the H2 jet is required to achieve ignition of the H2 jet at lower O2 concentrations. Once ignited, the flame stabilises near or at the nozzle, except under the lowest ambient O2 condition of 10 vol.% where a lifted flame is observed. The lift-off response, however, is influenced by the relative injection duration of the fuels, with the interaction between the incoming H2 jet and the diesel combustion recession products possibly playing a role. The interaction between the jets also affects the recorded intensity and the distribution of the diesel fuel jet soot zone.
