Diesel type combustion studies in high swirl chambers
The experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of swirl on the fuel-air mixing process in direct-injection diesel engines is described. The experimental work involved the further development of an existing hydraulic analogue technique which enables excellent flow visualisation. This wa...

The experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of swirl on the fuel-air mixing process in direct-injection diesel engines is described.
