description [EN] Injection duration in spark ignition engines is typically very short. Thus, understanding transient effects of the Gasoline Direct injection (GDi) process plays a major role in the analysis of the mixture formation and so combustion efficiency in this type of engines. Focusing on the opening and closing phases when the needle is moving up and downwards, there still are some uncertainties. For instance, the effect of wobble may lead to uneven distribution of fuel among the holes, and therefore differences in spray formation and even plume to-plume interactions. Other factors that may affect the shape of the rate of injection and so the mixture formation are the time evolution of the upstream pressure (related to the injector dynamics) together with the detailed geometry of the needle and its seat. Experimentally addressing these issues nowadays remains challenging, if not impossible, so Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are used to study this phase of the injection process. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are selected to account for the effects of turbulence. Volume of-Fluid (VOF) approach is used, not only to analyze the flow inside the nozzle, but also the first 2-5 mm of the spray. Homogeneous Relaxation Model (HRM) is employed to consider the mass exchange between liquid and vapor phases of the fuel inside the nozzle, if necessary. The Spray G operating condition of Engine Combustion Network (ECN) is used in this analysis. Statistics of several realizations are performed in order to extract significant conclusions. Results are validated against experimental data, and show the effects of the turbulence in the spray development. A strong interaction between jets, especially in the transitory phases of the simulation (opening and closing), is observed. Spray parameters, after averaging the different realizations, also accurately match the experimental results and previous simulations reported in the literature. One of these precisely captured effects is the deviation of the spray from the geometric axis of the orifice.
