The characteristics of combustion process in internal combustion engines are affected by mixing process between the injected fuel and the ambient gas. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the flow field in diesel fuel sprays. In this study, a single spray was injected into a quiescent atmosphere with room temperature at high pressure through a single hole nozzle for simplification. To discuss the flow field in diesel sprays, structure of the spray was visualized by laser light sheet method. And, it was revealed that the vortex structure inside the spray affects the classification of droplet particles by taking microscopic photographs of the droplets with high resolution film. And applying PIV method into the spray photography, both the formation of meandering structure of the spray mainstream and the ambient gas entrainment process are clarified.
