Models were developed to describe the vaporization of well-mixed wall films of multi-component engine fuels based on continuous thermodynamics and applied to describing multi-component fuel spray-wall interactions. All the models were implemented into the KIVA3V Release 2.0 code. Validation calculations were conducted for pulsed injection cases and compared with experimental wall film thickness data under different air-fuel ratios and inflow conditions in an inclined pipe, which simulates an intake port of port fuel injection engines. Calculations with single-component iso-octane fuel were also conducted for comparison. The influence of wall temperature, inflow-air velocity and injection angle on the gasoline wall film characteristics was studied. The results indicate that the multi-component fuel film is composed of increasingly heavy species as the vaporization proceeds. The fuel-film structure which results from spray-pipe-wall interaction is greatly different from that resulting from spray-plane-wall interaction. An increase in the wall temperature significantly decreases both the film thickness and the film area. The injection angle significantly changes the wall film structure. Although the inflow velocity enhances the fuel vaporization rate, it has a relatively small effect on the fuel film movement along the pipe wall.
