Abstract: | The optical depth is responsible of limiting the optical diagnostic using visible wavelength in the sprays. This paper proposes
to measure the optical depth directly in a real Diesel spray through line-of-sight laser extinction measurements. This easily
reproducible method which does not require expensive or complex optical techniques is detailed and the measurement procedure
is presented in this paper. As diesel sprays are mostly optically thick, the measurements in the denser region are not reliable
and a fuel concentration model has been used to derive the results to the entire spray. This work provides values of SMD at
different distance from the nozzle tip depending on the specific parameters like injection pressure or discharge density.
The values extracted from a combined experimental/computational approach have been compared to PDPA measurements under the
same testing conditions. The results have shown that the maximum optical depth was higher than 10 and that an increase of
the injection pressure led to higher τ values. The SMD values appeared to be below the results measured by the PDPA and the
droplet diameter showed to be the main responsible of the optical depth of the jet under the tested conditions. |
