Investigation of Scaling Properties of Diesel Sprays
The long-term objective of this project is the identification of scaling
parameters in multi-phase flows which characterize the spray, turbulence
and combustion behavior in diesel engines. If problems of unusual dimensions
could be scaled to sizes where experimental data is readily available,
then model validation procedures would be simplified and considerable savings
in computational resources could be achieved.
