A Conceptual Model of DI Diesel Combustion Based on Laser-Sheet Imaging*

John E. Dec
- 24 Feb 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological description of how direct-injection (DI) diesel combustion occurs has been derived from laser-sheet imaging and other recent optical data, which is summarized in a series of idealized schematics that depict the combustion process for a typical, modern-diesel-engine condition.
