Summary:

Knock intensity, the maximum half-amplitude of pressure oscillation, reaches 1 MPa once in thousands of cycles under a certain boosted high-load condition at the engine speed of 5000 min-1, which is named high-speed super knock. In the present study, a mass-production turbo-charged direct-injection gasoline engine is operated for the indicated mean effective pressure of 1.7 MPa at the engine speed of 1500 to 5000 min-1. Unburned-zone autoignition timing is estimated using Livengood-Wu integral coupled with a small set of ignition delay time equations, which matches that detected from the differential value of net heat release rate, with a difference below 2 degrees in the whole range of engine speed. As unburned-zone autoignition timing advances, ignition delay time in an unburned zone at the autoignition timing shortens. Whenever autoignition occurs at 15 degrees after TDC, the ignition delay time is the period of about 10 degrees, regardless of engine speed. Knock intensity divided by the intensity of pressure oscillation induced by the main combustion, is named relative knock intensity. True heavy knock with an extremely-large relative knock intensity occurs occasionally at the low engine speed of 1500 to 2000 min-1, of which the occurrence rate decreases with the increase in engine speed. The high-speed super knock also has an extremely-large relative knock intensity, which might be a rare occurrence of the true heavy knock. A propagation flame front is visualized at autoignition timing using 20 ion probes mounted on the combustion chamber roof. When the high-speed super knock occurs, a relatively-large volume of unburned zone is located directly below the exhaust valves. However, no remarkable autoigniton heat release is observed
