| Sumario: | [EN] The development of innovative diesel piston bowl designs has shown significant improvement of the near-wall flame evolution, resulting in lower fuel consumption and engine-out soot emissions. With this aim, a novel hybrid piston bowl for a 1.6 L light-duty diesel engine was designed, coupling a sharp-stepped bowl and radial-bumps in the inner bowl rim. The effects of the proposed hybrid bowl were analysed through both single-cylinder optical engine and 3D-CFD models, which feature a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism and the Particulate Mimic (PM) soot model. The 2-color pyrometry optical technique was adopted to obtain the optical soot density (KL) and the temperature of the soot surface. Then, a line-of-sight integration of the numerical soot distribution was adopted to obtain a planar KL distribution, which is directly comparable with the experimental KL images. The results showed a good agreement in terms of soot distribution between 3D-CFD and experiments, confirming the high prediction capabilities of the developed numerical methodology. The synergetic application of numerical and optical techniques highlighted that the hybrid bowl strongly mitigates the flame-to-flame interaction with respect to a conventional re-entrant bowl, leading to lower soot formation in the flame collision area. Moreover, faster flame propagation toward the cylinder axis is highlighted with a consequent higher soot oxidation rate in the late combustion phase. |
