Abstract
Ducted Fuel Injection (DFI) is a concept of growing interest to mitigate soot formation in the diesel combustion process and, simultaneously, break the usual trade-off between soot and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions. Particularly, the concept is to inject a fuel spray down the axis of a small duct, positioned within the combustion chamber some distance downstream of the injector orifice exit, so that the mixing between air and fuel is increased; as a consequence, a lower equivalence ratio as well as lower engine-out soot emissions are expected. However, the research studies conducted so far have been mainly performed considering only a single-injection event, while state-of-the art diesel engines typically feature highly optimized Multi-Injection (MI) strategies to address emissions, combustion noise and engine performance issues.
Therefore, it still remains nowadays an open point, in scientific literature, the synergistic exploitation of both MI strategy and DFI technology
