A fully predictive model of a Common Rail fuel injection apparatus, which includes a detailed simulation of rail, pump, piping system, injectors and rail pressure control system, is presented and discussed. The high-pressure pump and injector sub-models have been validated separately and then coupled to the rail and pressure control system sub-models. The complete predictive model has been validated and applied to investigate the effects of the dynamics of each component of the injection apparatus on the rail pressure time history. Variable timing of the high-pressure pump delivery phases has also been considered, and the influence of this parameter on the injection performance has been analysed for both single- and multiple-injection events. Furthermore, the injection system dynamics during the transients between steady-state working conditions has been investigated in order to highlight the role played by the dynamic response of the pressure control system on the rail pressure time history.

Existing data on transient turbulent jet injection in to large chambers demonstrates self-similar behavior under a wide range of conditions including compressibility, thermal and species diffusion, and nozzle under expansion. The Jet penetration distance well downstream of the virtual origin is proportional to the square root of the time and the fourth root of the ratio of nozzle exit momentum flow rate to chamber density. The constant of proportionality has been evaluated by invoking the concept of Turner that the flow can be modeled as a steady jet headed by a spherical vortex. Using incompressible transient jet observations to determine the asymptotically constant ratio of maximum jet width to penetration distance, and the steady jet entrainment results of Ricou and Spalding, it is shown that the penetration constant is 3 ± 0.1. This value is shown to hold for compressible flows also, with substantial thermal and species diffusion, and even with transient jets from highly under-expanded in which, as in diesel engine chambers with gaseous fuel injection, the jet is directed at a small angle to one wall of the chamber. In these tests, with under expanded nozzles. Observations of transient jet injection have been made in a chamber in which, as in diesel engine chambers with gaseous fuel injection, the jet is directed at a small angle to one wall of the chamber. In these tests, with under-expanded nozzles it was found that at high nozzle pressure ratios, depending on the jet injection angle, the jet penetration can be consistent with a penetration constant of 3. At low pressure ratios the presence of the wall noticeably retards the penetration of the jet.

As a consequence of the endless price growing of oil, and oil derivate fuels, automotive industry is experiencing a concerning decreasing in sales. Accordingly, in order to meet customer needs, there is every day a greater interest in solutions for increasing engine efficiency. On the other hand the growing attention to environmental problems leads to increasingly restrictive regulations, such as European EURO 4 and EURO 5. Direct injection of gaseous fuel has emerged to be a high potential strategy to tackle both environmental and fuel economy requirements. However since the electronic gaseous injection technology is rather new for automotive applications, limited experience exists on the optimum configuration of the injection system and the combustion chamber. To facilitate the development of these applications computer models are being developed to simulate gaseous injection, air entrainment and the ensuing combustion. This paper introduces a new method for modelling the injection process of gaseous fuels in multi-dimensional simulations. The proposed model allows holding down grid requirements, thus making it compatible with the three-dimensional simulation of an internal combustion engine. The model is validated and calibrated by comparing numerical results with available experimental data. To highlight the potential applications, some numerical results of the three-dimensional combustion process in a gas engine are presented.
