The T-junction model of engine exhaust manifolds significantly influences the simulation precision of the pressure wave and mass flow rate in the intake and exhaust manifolds of diesel engines. Current studies have focused on constant pressure models, constant static pressure models and pressure loss models. However, low model precision is a common disadvantage when simulating engine exhaust manifolds, particularly for turbocharged systems. To study the performance of junction flow, a cold wind tunnel experiment with high velocities at the junction of a diesel exhaust manifold is performed, and the variation in the pressure loss in the T-junction under different flow conditions is obtained. Despite the trend of the calculated total pressure loss coefficient, which is obtained by using the original pressure loss model and is the same as that obtained from the experimental results, large differences exist between the calculated and experimental values. Furthermore, the deviation becomes larger as the flow velocity increases. By improving the Vazsonyi formula considering the flow velocity and introducing the distribution function, a modified pressure loss model is established, which is suitable for a higher velocity range. Then, the new model is adopted to solve one-dimensional, unsteady flow in a D6114 turbocharged diesel engine. The calculated values are compared with the measured data, and the result shows that the simulation accuracy of the pressure wave before the turbine is improved by 4.3% with the modified pressure loss model because gas compressibility is considered when the flow velocities are high. The research results provide valuable information for further junction flow research, particularly the correction of the boundary condition in one-dimensional simulation models.

Most researches on transient fuel control of port fuel injection S.I. engine are carried out from the perspective of advanced mathematical theories. When it comes to practical control, there exist many limitations although they are more intelligent. In order to overcome the fuel wetting effect of PFI engine, the application-oriented transient fuel control is studied by analyzing the key parameters which are closely related with the engine transient characteristics. Both validity and simplicity are taken into consideration. Based on the fuel wall-wetting theory and popular fuel compensation strategy, short-term transient fuel(STF) and long-term transient fuel(LTF), as well as their individual decay approaches, are introduced. STF is to compensate the drastic fuel film loss caused by sudden throttle change, while the function of LTF is to compensate the fuel film loss by manifold air pressure(p) fluctuation. Each of them has their respective pros and cons. The engine fuel mass and air mass are also calculated for air-fuel ratio(AFR) according to ideal gas state equation and empirical equations. The vehicle acceleration test is designed for model validation. The engine experiences several mild and heavy accelerations corresponding to the gear change during vehicle acceleration. STF and LTF control are triggered reliably. The engine transient fuel control simulation adopts the same inputs as the test to ensure consistency. The logged test data are used to check the model output. The results show that the maximum fuel pulse width(FPW) error reaches 2 ms, and it only occurs under engine heavy acceleration condition. The average FPW error is 0.57 ms. The results of simulation and test are close overall, which indicates the accuracy of steady and transient fuel. The proposed research provides an efficient approach not only suitable for practical engineering application, but also for AFR prediction, fuel consumption calculation, and further studies on emission control.

Supercavitation in the diesel nozzle increases the instability of droplets in part due to the two-phase mixture,while the effect of cavitation bubbles on the instability of drops is still unclear.In order to investigate the breakup of cavitation bubbles within the diesel droplet,a new mathematical model describing the disturbance growth rate of the diesel bubble instability is developed.The new mathematical model is applied to predict the effects of fluids viscosity on the stability of cavitation bubbles.The predicted values reveal that the comprehensive effect of fluids viscosity makes cavitation bubbles more stable.Compared with the viscosities of air and cavitation bubble,the diesel droplet's viscosity plays a dominant role on the stability of cavitation bubbles.Furthermore,based on the modified bubble breakup criterion,the effects of bubble growth speed,sound speed,droplet viscosity,droplet density,and bubble-droplet radius ratio on the breakup time and the breakup radius of cavitation bubbles are studied respectively.It is found that a bubble with large bubble-droplet radius ratio has the initial condition for breaking easily.For a given bubble-droplet radius ratio(0.2),as the bubble growth speed increases(from 2 m/s to 60 m/s),the bubble breakup time decreases(from 3.59μs to 0.17μs)rapidly.Both the greater diesel droplet viscosity and the greater diesel droplet density result in the increase of the breakup time.With increasing initial bubble-droplet radius ratio(from 0.2 to 0.8),the bubble breakup radius decreases(from 8.86μm to 6.23μm).There is a limited breakup radius for a bubble with a certain initial bubble-droplet radius ratio.The mathematical model and the modified bubble breakup criterion are helpful to improve the study on the breakup mechanism of the secondary diesel droplet under the condition of supercavitation.

Longitudinal vibration,torsional vibration and their coupled vibration are the main vibration modes of the crankshaft-sliding bearing system.However,these vibrations of the propeller-crankshaft-sliding bearing system generated by the fluid exciting force on the propeller are much more complex.Currently,the torsional and longitudinal vibrations have been studied separately while the research on their coupled vibration is few,and the influence of the propeller structure to dynamic characteristics of a crankshaft has not been studied yet.In order to describe the dynamic properties of a crankshaft accurately,a nonlinear dynamic model is proposed taking the effect of torsional-longitudinal coupling and the variable inertia of propeller,connecting rod and piston into account.Numerical simulation cases are carried out to calculate the response data of the system in time and frequency domains under the working speed and over-speed,respectively.Results of vibration analysis of the propeller and crankshaft system coupled in torsional and longitudinal direction indicate that the system dynamic behaviors are relatively complicated especially in the components of the frequency response.For example,the 4 times of an exciting frequency acting on the propeller by fluid appears at 130 r/min,while not yield at 105 r/min.While the possible abnormal vibration at over-speed just needs to be vigilant.So when designing the propeller shafting used in marine diesel engines,strength calculation and vibration analysis based only on linear model may cause great errors and the proposed research provides some references to design diesel engine propeller shafting used in large marines.
