Abstract

Cavitation erosion of cylinder liner seriously affects the operational reliability and service life of heavy-duty diesel engines. The accuracy of the modeling-based cavitation risk evaluation is limited by the unclear correspondence between cylinder liner vibration and coolant cavitation. This report is intended to investigate the correspondence between cylinder liner vibration and coolant pressure by combining vibration cavitation test, pressure gradient calculation, and visualization observation. The cavitation risk of the cylinder liner under piston slap is also quantitatively analyzed based on the nonlinear structural dynamics model. The results show that the occurrence of cavitation will cause a nonlinear relationship between the cylinder liner acceleration and the coolant pressure. The difference in cavitation risk for each cylinder is related to the structural modal characteristics of the crankcase. In addition, the effect of piston-liner clearance and piston pin offset on the cavitation risk is investigated based on the dynamics model.
