Abstract

An experimental study is presented on the steady flow in a four-valve diesel engine rig by using hot-wire anemometry. Through the analysis of the in-cylinder three-dimensional flow field of a four-valve diesel engine, the in-cylinder swirl formation process at various valve lift was investigated. A new criterion is proposed for predicting the emergence of a stable-swirl formation interface, based on swirl angular momentum flux. A stable-swirl formation interface exists when the main swirl angular momentum flux is nearly equal to the in-cylinder air total angular momentum flux.
