Optical Diagnostics for In-Cylinder mixture formation measurements in IC engines

摘要

In the last few years, there has been a very rapid increase in the number of applications of laser diagnostics in internal combustion (IC) engines, particularly the use of optical techniques for studying mixture preparation and in-cylinder mixture distribution. This is due to the importance of mixture formation in controlling the subsequent combustion and pollutant formation in IC engines. This paper attempts to review and discuss the current status of the applications of these optical techniques for in-cylinder mixture formation studies.
