Enhanced Optical Engine System:

• The invention introduces a sophisticated system and method for investigating in-cylinder flow and combustion in gasoline direct-injection (GDI) optical engines. It features a transparent unit, including a transparent cylinder and piston top, enabling real-time optical access to observe combustion processes and flow dynamics within the combustion chamber.

Innovative Visualization Components:

• The system utilizes a combination of lasers, high-speed cameras, and a mirror assembly to capture detailed, multi-angle views of in-cylinder processes. This allows for comprehensive investigations of tumble and swirl planes, aiding in the understanding and optimization of engine performance and emissions.

Robust and Adaptable Design:

• The engine design incorporates durable materials such as quartz glass and aluminum alloys to withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions. The support unit, with slotted support cylinders and poles, ensures stability and precise alignment of transparent components for accurate and consistent observations
