- Visualising the transient microscale dynamics of diesel sprays at high resolution had never been achieved under realistic engine conditions, despite their importance for understanding the complex physics involved. This paper is important because it revealed for the first time that fuel vapour remained trapped inside the injector orifices at these conditions. This research had significant impact on the field by providing evidence for the fluid boundary conditions needed in numerical models, and unveiling mechanisms that lead to the formation of deposits inside engines. These results underpinned a successful collaborative EPSRC proposal with bp (EP/K020528/1) and REF2021 Impact Case Study [ICS_bp].
