Spray-wall interactions in direct-injection engines: An introductory overview

Abstract

Spray-wall interactions directly affect fuel-air mixture preparation and emissions formation. They are therefore among the most critical physical processes in engines today. This special issue of International Journal of Engine Research presents 11 papers that investigate spray-wall interactions and their effects at both fundamental and practical levels. This brief article offers background and context for the special issue and summarizes each research paper in the collection.
