Abstract
Observations of the scavenging flow field have been made in a modified poppet-valved two-stroke engine with a transparent cylinder. Four kinds of cylinder heads with different port configuration were created to analyze their effects on the scavenging flow and develop new scavenging concepts. A mineral oil fog discharge system was used to visualize the air flow during the scavenging process. All of the images were recorded by a high speed video camera which show the development of the scavenging processes and clearly indicate the scavenging jet structure, the tumble pattern and the location of re-circulation regions. The analyses allow us to judge the quality of the scavenging processes. The small changes in port geometry could significantly affect the scavenging flow. Tumble as well as swirl should be considered as main means to organize the scavenging flow in order to avoid short-circuiting losses and create condition favorable to combustion. The averaged axial velocities of scavenging flow were also measured by Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) and compared with the visualization images.
