This study deals with the effect of the viscosity of the ambient gas on the atomization process of a diesel spray. The liquid fuel is injected through a single-hole nozzle (ln/dn=0.75 mm/0.25 mm)with the injection differential pressure of 16.2 MPa inside a constant-volume vessel under a high-pressure field at room temperature. In practical combustion chambers of diesel engines, the viscosity of the ambient gas varies mainly with its temperature. In this experiment, various gases (CO2, N2, Ar, Ne, and Ar+Ne) were utilized for the ambient atmosphere in order to change the ambient gas viscosity. The vaporization of fuel drops was negligible. This study, revealed that the higher the viscosity, the more the spray spreads in the radial direction, thus the spray angle increased and tip penetration decreased. The droplets became smaller and were distributed in the inner region of the cold-state diesel spray under high ambient viscosity conditions. Further more, it was found that processes of ligament formation in the liquid jet and initial atomization were affected by kinematic viscosity ratio between the liquid fuel and ambient gas, and the spray dispersion and mixing process in the downstream region was affected only by the ambient gas kinematic viscosity.
