Time-Resolved stereoscopic PIV measurements of cyclic variations in an internal combustion engine

The flow field during the intake and the compression stroke of an optical four-stroke, four-valve, single-cylinder gasoline type demonstrator engine is measured using time-resolved stereoscopic particle-image velocimetry (PIV) to analyze these flow structures. The flow is measured in the tumble plane at an engine speed of 1500 rpm in 50...
