Injector Nozzle Multiphase Flow Numerical Simulation of High Pressure Common Rail System

Abstract:

The changing of injector nozzle structure will influence the combustion and emission properties in diesel engine. Three-dimensional numerical simulation of multiphase flow of mini-sac nozzles of high pressure common rail were calculated by using the computational fluid dynamics ( CFD ) method in this paper. The results shown that this method can be more accurately obtained a lot of useful information on the flow field inside the nozzle in a relatively short period of time, and it is convenient for analysis and research the influence of geometry parameters on the flow characteristics inside the nozzle. The paper also studied the influence of nozzle inlet pressure, the angle between the axis of the hole and the axis of the injector and nozzle entrance radius to the flow characteristics inside the nozzle. It also studied the distribution of internal pressure, velocity of flow, gas-phase volume fraction and turbulent kinetic energy. These studies provided a favorable basis for the design and improvement of the nozzle structure and optimize combustion system matches.
