Limits and Effects of Similarity Ratio in Scaled Model Experiments of Marine Low-Speed Diesel Engines
In order to study the application of scaled model experiments in marine diesel engines
the limit of similarity ratio was clarified based on a marine low-speed diesel engine with 340 mm bore diameter. Then
the similarity of heat transfer loss
in-cylinder temperature distribution
in-cylinder pressure
heat release rate
indicated thermal efficiency and emissions was studied under different similarity ratios with three scaling laws. The results show that the in-cylinder pressure
indicated thermal efficiency and normalized NOx emissions increase with the increase of bore diameter
while the normalized soot emissions decrease with the increase of bore diameter. The prediction accuracy of the scaled model experiments decreases with the increase of the bore diameter difference
and the exponential function can be used to reflect the relationship between the design parameters and similarity ratios.
