Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of measuring the transient evaporation process during fuel spraying, and in particular to a discriminant calculation method for judging the transient spraying process of liquid fuel by ballistic light imaging. Background Art

[0002] The power of motor vehicles in China mainly relies on internal combustion engines, consuming a large amount of fossil fuels. In 2019, China's dependence on foreign oil rose to 70%. Diesel engines emit a large amount of NO x , particulate matter and other emissions, which cause great harm to the environment and human health. These pollutants can be controlled by improving spray combustion, thereby contributing to alleviating the energy crisis and environmental problems. The combustion of fuels with different components is also different. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research on the fuel spraying process. The calculation of the instantaneous evaporation amount of fuel spraying helps to evaluate the formation effect of the mixture.

[0003] Previously, high-speed microphotography was mostly used to observe the near-field area of the spray. However, with the application of technologies such as high supercharging and high injection pressure in internal combustion engines, the in-cylinder pressure and temperature of internal combustion engines have been continuously increasing. The ambient pressure and temperature when hydrocarbon fuels are injected into the cylinder have exceeded the critical pressure and temperature of most hydrocarbon fuels and ambient gases, and the fuel reaches the supercritical state. Therefore, conventional optical measurement methods cannot obtain effective information on the liquid core of the spray. Ballistic light imaging can obtain the liquid core information of the actual spray near-field area through methods such as spatial filtering and time gating.

[0004] Compared with the existing technologies, the present invention does not require setting temperature and pressure sensors, nor obtaining the droplet velocity. In addition to obtaining conventional parameters such as spray cone angle and penetration distance, it can also simply and accurately obtain the state of the spray liquid column and droplet area, as well as the mass of the spray liquid column area, the mass of the spray droplet area, and the instantaneous evaporation amount of the spray. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a discriminant method for the spray area of liquid fuel based on ballistic light imaging and a calculation method for the transient evaporation amount. The fuel spray image is captured by a ballistic light imaging device, the spray area is discriminated according to the discriminant method proposed by the invention, and the instantaneous evaporation amount of the spray is calculated according to the calculation method proposed by the invention, so as to calculate the instantaneous evaporation amount during the spray process.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A discriminant and transient evaporation amount calculation method for the spray area of liquid fuel based on ballistic light imaging, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Use a ballistic light imaging device to obtain the spray image of the liquid fuel; Step 2: Use the gray function processing method and the curvature optimization method to divide the captured spray image into a liquid column area and a droplet area; Step 3: Calculate the transient evaporation amount based on the spray image after the area division is completed.

[0008] Further, the specific process of Step 2 is as follows:

[0009] Step 2.1: Use a ballistic light imaging device to obtain the spray field imaging picture, denoted as T;

[0010] Step 2.2: Preprocess the image T; for the preprocessing of the image T, use the clipping algorithm in the matlab toolbox to remove the invalid black border; use the maximum value method to grayscale the image T, and select the maximum value of the three-component brightness in the RGB image as the grayscale value; further use the Gaussian filtering method to remove the image noise, and the processed image is denoted as T1;

[0011] Step 2.3: Further set a threshold to perform binary processing on the image; the pixel points with a grayscale value greater than the threshold are regarded as interference elements and deleted; the area with a grayscale value of 0 is regarded as the ambient gas and deleted, and the processed image is denoted as T2;

[0012] Step 2.4: Calculate the gray function I = f(x, y) of the image T2, where x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the image respectively, and I is the grayscale value at the image coordinate (x, y);

[0013] Step 2.5: Based on the grayscale values of each pixel point of the image T2 obtained in Step 2.4, form a grayscale matrix; use the contour analysis algorithm to screen the contour lines of the liquid column area in the image T2; the contour analysis algorithm is to perform liquid column contour feature discrimination on the grayscale matrix from the axis of the liquid column area to both sides, and initially divide the area where the grayscale value drops steeply into the contour lines of the liquid column or droplet;

[0014] Step 2.6: Based on the contour lines of the liquid column or droplet initially divided in Step 2.5, use the curvature optimization method for further precise division; the curvature optimization method is to perform optimization using a square grid with a side length of E millimeters on both sides of the initially divided contour line; E = 10d0; d0 is the initial value of the droplet diameter assumed based on experience;

[0015] Step 2.7: Further divide the contour lines of the liquid column or droplet with J square grids with a side length of E millimeters, and calculate the curvature radius of each figure within these J square grids;

[0016] When calculating the curvature radius of each figure in the jth (j = 1, 2, 3... J) grid, it is necessary to first calculate the average curvature radius of the figure near the jth grid;

[0017] Step 2.9: The steps for calculating the average curvature radius of the figure near the jth grid are as follows: randomly select 10 square units with a side length of E mm in a semicircle with the jth grid as the center and a radius of 5E; calculate the average curvature radius of the droplets in these 10 units (repeat the calculation 12 times to reduce the error); further calculate the average curvature radius of these 120 units and standard deviation s, then the standard error Assume that the significance level α is set to 0.05, and check the normal distribution z value table to know that the standard score z = 1.96; then the confidence interval is

[0018] Step 2.10: Calculate the curvature radius of each figure in the jth (j=1,2,3…J) grid

[0019] Step 2.11: Set the J grids with a curvature radius greater than further connect all the marked graphics and record them as the contour line of the liquid column area;

[0020] Step 2.12: At this point, the contour line of the droplet area is divided. The area inside the contour line is the liquid column area, recorded as L; the area outside the contour line is the droplet area, recorded as K.

[0021] Further, in step 2.10:

[0022] When the curvature radius of each shape in the grid All less than When , it is considered that the grid is located in the droplet area;

[0023] When there is a curvature radius of a graphic in the grid Greater than When , the grid is considered to be located in the liquid column area;

[0024] Further, the specific process of step 3 is:

[0025] Step 3.1: Calculate the instantaneous fuel mass M0 based on the fuel injection law;

[0026] Step 3.2: Calculate the liquid phase mass in the spray column region; Denote the nozzle as point a, the demarcation line as point b, and the spray end as point c; Denote the mass of the liquid phase fuel in the spray column region as M1; The fuel temperature at the nozzle is close to room temperature, and the fuel temperature in the liquid column region is close to the ambient gas temperature. Then denote the density of the liquid phase fuel at the nozzle as ρ1, and the density at the end of the liquid column region as ρ2. After weighted processing of the overall density of the liquid column, it is ρ = 2 / 3ρ1 + ρ2; The fuel density in the droplet region is the density of the fuel at the ambient gas temperature; Fit the spray contour line in the spray column region to f(x) through the matlab program, then

[0027] Step 3.3: Divide the droplet region into grids. Divide the droplet region into m sub-regions with a side length of E millimeters, and use m i to represent the i-th sub-region, and η i to represent the number of droplets in the i-th sub-region, and d i to represent the average diameter of the droplets in the i-th sub-region (i = 1…m);

[0028] The average number of droplets in the m sub-regions of the droplet region

[0029] The volume average diameter of the droplets in the m sub-regions of the droplet region is

[0030] Step 3.4: Convert the volume average diameter of the droplets into the volume V of the droplets through the relationship between gravitational acceleration and surface tension m ,

[0031] where α, β are constants, and γ is the surface tension;

[0032] Step 3.5: Fit the spray contour line in the droplet region to g(x) through the matlab program; The volume of a grid cube is E 3 ; Further, the number of grids in the droplet region is

[0033] Step 3.6: The liquid phase mass in the droplet region is M2 = ρNηV m ;

[0046] Both the discrimination method and the calculation method of the present invention are based on a ballistic light imaging device. Ballistic light imaging means using the optical Kerr effect to image the acquired ballistic photons; ballistic photons are photons that are not scattered and maintain their original propagation direction, containing information about the liquid core; clear images of the spray can be obtained.

[0050] Such as Figures 2-4 , after obtaining the spray image, it is necessary to first discriminate the liquid fuel spray area and divide the spray into a liquid column area and a droplet area. The spray area discrimination method is as follows:

J) grid When the radius of curvature of each figure in the grid is less than at this time, it is considered that the position where the grid is located is the droplet area; when there is a figure in the grid whose radius of curvature is greater than at this time, it is considered that the position where the grid is located is the liquid column area;

[0061] Step 11: Mark the figures with a radius of curvature greater than in the J grids in Step 7; further connect all the marked figures, which is denoted as the contour line of the liquid column area;

[0062] Step 12: So far, the division of the droplet area contour line is completed. The area inside the contour line is the liquid column area, denoted as L; the area outside the contour line is the droplet area, denoted as K;
