Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) and Its Automotive Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics ((LNACM,volume 19))

Abstract

This work provides an overview of the technique of Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) and some of its automotive applications. The various elements of MTV implementation are briefly described in terms of the available molecular tracers, methods of tagging, detection, and processing schemes. The automotive applications of this velocimetry technique are demonstrated in mapping the velocity field of the intake flow into a “steady flow rig” model of an internal combustion engine and flow mapping of cycle-to-cycle variation in late compression of a motored IC engine.
