Abstract
A measurement methodology and a test set-up for the experimental investigation of internal combustion engines are presented. This system is based on a laser Doppler anemometer and a laser Doppler vibrometer which measure in a co-ordinated or simultaneous mode both the velocity of the intake flow and the motion of the inlet poppet valve. A synchronized data acquisition procedure allows the use of two optical instruments to analyse the effects of valve jumps and bounces on the inlet flow field. At high rpm, anomalous valve behaviour may appear. Fluid velocity measurements are taken inside the cylinder and the manifold of a motored automotive engine head at different rpm, up to a speed at which anomalous valve behaviour regularly occurs. Velocity data are processed in both time and frequency domains. This measurement system also represents a valuable tool to study resonance phenomena in ducts.
