Spray formations of three injection directions against swirl have been investigated by means of 3D numerical calculation, in-cylinder measurement, and engine performances tests. A direct injection type engine which has a single hole nozzle and a spark plug, has been operated, and three injection directions; a forward (same) direction, a reverse one, and a right-angled (central) one against a swirl direction, have been selected. Three types of intake port, futhermore, have been selected owing to create three types of in-cylinder flow, low swirl, middle swirl, and high swirl. Spray formations in 3D cylinder flow have been investigated by using a ‘KIVA’ code. Initial conditions of in-cylinder flow are based on data which have been measured in three dimensional by a LDV system under a motoring operation. Analysis results of spray formations by numerical calculations can explain well data of engine performance tests qualitatively, and some interesting results have been obtained.
