Abstract
The underlying correlations between cyclic variability in the velocity field, spray boundary conditions and the spatial distribution of equivalence ratio in a realistic direct injection spark ignition engine have been investigated by means of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). The method of snapshots has been employed to perform both phase-dependent and phase-independent decomposition of the scalar-velocity correlations. LES based simulation of 30 engine cycles has been used for POD analysis
