Simulation data for similarity of spray combustion processes in marine low-speed diesel engines

摘要

Scaled model experiments are very useful for reducing time, cost and energy consumption in marine diesel engine development. This data article is based on the research work which examines the potential of scaled model experiments for marine low-speed diesel engines. Two engines of 340 and 520 mm bore diameters are employed to conduct this numerical scaling work based on three diesel combustion scaling laws. Data on similarity of peak swirl ratio, heat transfer losses, liquid and vapor penetration length, ignition delay, in-cylinder peak temperature, peak carbon monoxide (CO), peak hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions for various fuel injection timing are provided. The data in this paper are valuable reference for researchers or engineers who attempt to conduct scaled model experiments in marine diesel engine development.
