For heavy duty diesel engines, piston temperature control is very important in constructing a successful design that meets the demands of increasing power output and stringent emission regulations. Overheating of piston is avoided with engine oil through spray cooling and gallery cooling processes. In this research project, evolution and disintegration of oil jet used for piston cooling by DAF Trucks N.V., is studied numerically using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Volume of Fluid (VOF) methodologies. A robust CFD model is built with major focus on the significance of grid resolution in multi-phase LES, and is used to reproduce two test cases. This is followed by characterization of physics involved in oil jet breakup through qualitative inspection. Parameters relevant to the two types of cooling techniques are estimated to see the impact of jet development at different flow rates. Based on the results obtained, the need for grid refinement is assessed and performed for certain cases. Finally, turbulent atmosphere within the crankcase is estimated through a separate simulation and its effect on oil jet is investigated. Results show that for oil in quiescent atmosphere jet turbulence is the dominant force and is the primary cause for disintegration. A clear transition to turbulence is captured with increase in flow rate, as the jet behavior is more and more chaotic with droplet formation and spreading. Importance of grid resolution on droplet capturing is recognized and an isolated analysis shows more droplets being captured with fine meshes. The level of refinement necessary to capture all the droplets still remains an open question. With turbulent atmosphere, no significant change in the jets is obtained until primary breakup and the inertial force of the liquid phase is found to dominate the surrounding flow effects. However, secondary breakup is found to be affected, as aerodynamic interactions increase disintegration and spreading, impacting both the cooling techniques. Results obtained from this research work will be used as primary inputs for further studies in the company on spray cooling and gallery cooling (sloshing flow) leading towards optimization of the piston cooling process.
