Effect of a dual air inlet port of the 4-valve CI engine on the swirl flow generated at the bottom region of the cylinder using the PIV technique

The in-cylinder flow in diesel engines significantly affects fuel-air mixing, combustion, and emissions. The present study investigates how engine properties such as the engine speed and intake port affect the swirl flow of a single cylinder diesel engine. Using the obtained velocity data, the stren...
