Abstract
An engine system includes a combustion chamber including a cylinder formed in an engine and a piston configured to reciprocate inside the cylinder, a spark plug disposed in a ceiling part of the combustion chamber, and a water injection device configured to inject water into the combustion chamber through a plurality of nozzle holes facing the inside of the combustion chamber. The piston has a cavity in an upper surface thereof. The water injection device injects water into the cavity in a compression stroke at a timing when an extension of axes of at least some of the nozzle holes intersects the cavity. The cavity has a bottom part where the water injected by the water injection device collides, and a raising part configured to raise the water spreading along the bottom part toward the water injection device.
