Optical Investigations of a Gasoline Direct Injection Engine

Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">In this paper optical investigations of a gasoline direct injection engine with narrow spacing arrangement of spark plug and injector are presented. For the combustion analysis spectroscopy techniques based on the fiber technique are used. With this measurement technique information about soot formation and temperature progression in the combustion chamber is obtained. Furthermore a validation of numerical simulation of the stratified combustion with data obtained experimentally, is performed and discussed.</div>
