Nozzle flow model for high pressure variable-rate spraying is indispensable when orchard sprayer is controlling liquid flow based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology. Three flow models for Teejet AITXA 8002, 8003 and 8004 nozzles are obtained by using nozzle flow model test system which is established in this paper. The results from equation hypothesis test and test for lack of fit of flow model shows that those three flow models work well. Nozzle flow model validation trials show that the relative errors of model flow and actual flow are small, while the maximum relative error is 6.50%; the flows characteristics of different nozzles with the same type are almost the same.

In this paper, a nozzle flow model was used to design an injector nozzle and obtain initial spray conditions for the dimethyl ether (DME) common rail-injection system. In order to deliver the same amount of energy as that provided by diesel at a low injection pressure of 50 MPa, the injector for DME needs nozzle holes with larger diameters and a higher SAC volume for the same injection duration. In addition, the needle lift and needle seat diameter should be increased to maintain a minimum flow area ratio. Although the vapour pressure and maximum injection pressure of DME are lower than those of diesel, the nozzle in a DME system showed higher discharge coefficients and effective nozzle exit diameters for the same injection duration owing to low kinematic viscosity. However, because the maximum injection pressure in DME is lower than that with diesel, and the length of the cavitation region is narrower.

Direct injection of compressed natural gas in internal combustion engines is a promising technology to achieve high indicated thermal efficiency and, at the same time, reduce harmful exhaust gas emissions using relatively low-cost fuel. However, the design and analysis of direct injection–compressed natural gas systems are challenging due to small injector geometries and high-speed gas flows including shocks and discontinuities. The injector design typically involves either a multi-hole configuration with inwardly opening needle or an outwardly opening poppet-type valve with small geometries, which make accessing the near-nozzle-flow field difficult in experiments. Therefore, predictive simulations can be helpful in the design and development processes. Simulations of the gas injection process are, however, computationally very expensive, as gas passages of the order of micrometers combined with a high Mach number compressible gas flow result in very small simulation time steps of the order of nanoseconds, increasing the overall computational wall time. With substantial differences between in-nozzle and in-cylinder length and velocity scales, simultaneous simulation of both regions becomes computationally expensive. Therefore, in this work, a quasi-one-dimensional nozzle-flow model for an outwardly opening poppet-type injector is developed. The model is validated by comparison with high-fidelity large-eddy simulation results for different nozzle pressure ratios. The quasi-one-dimensional nozzle-flow model is dynamically coupled to a three-dimensional flow solver through source terms in the governing equations, named as dynamically coupled source model. The dynamically coupled source model is then applied to a temporal gas jet evolution case and a cold flow engine case. The results show that the dynamically coupled source model can reasonably predict the gas jet behavior in both cases. All simulations using the new model led to reductions of computational wall time by a factor of 5 or higher.

The inner-flow of gasoline direct injection (GDI) injector nozzles plays an important role in the process of spray, and affects the mixture process in gasoline engine cylinder. The nozzle structure also affects the inner-flow of GDI injector. In order to obtain uniform performance of GDI injector, the size consistency of injector nozzle should be ensured. This paper researches the effect of nozzle length and diameter on the inner flow and analyzes the sensitivity of inner flow characteristics to these structural parameters. First, this paper reveals the process of inception, development, and saturated condition of cavitation phenomenon in injector nozzle. Second, the inner-nozzle flow characteristics are more sensitive to small diameter than large diameter under the short nozzle length, while the sensitivity of the inner-nozzle flow characteristics to large nozzle diameter becomes strong as the increase of the nozzle length. Finally, the influence of nozzle angle on the injection mass flow is studied, and the single nozzle fuel mass will increase as the decrease of nozzle angle α. And the sensitivity of inner-flow characteristic to nozzle angle becomes strong as the decrease of α.

A general conservative numerical model for the simulation of transmission-line unsteady fluid dynamics has been developed and applied to high-pressure injection systems. A comprehensive thermodynamic approach for modeling acoustic cavitation, i.e., cavitation induced by wave propagation, was proposed on the basis of a conservative homogeneous two-phase barotropic flow model of a pure liquid, its vapor, and a gas, both dissolved and undissolved. A physically consistent sound speed equation was set in a closed analytical form of wide application. For the pure-liquid flow simulation outside the cavitation regions, or in the absence of these, temperature variations due to compressibility effects were taken into account, for the first time in injection system simulation, through a thermodynamic relation derived from the energy equation. Nevertheless, in the cavitating regions, an isothermal flow was retained consistently with negligible macroscopic thermal effects due to vaporization or condensation, because of the tiny amounts of liquid involved. A novel implicit, conservative, one-step, symmetrical, and trapezoidal scheme of second-order accuracy was employed to solve the partial differential equations governing the pipe flow. It can also be enhanced at a high-resolution level. The numerical model was applied to wave propagation and cavitation simulation in a high-pressure injection system of the pump-line-nozzle type for light and medium duty vehicles. The system was relevant to model assessment because, at part loads, it presented cavitating flow conditions that can be considered as severe, at least for a diesel injection system. The predicted time histories of pressure at two pipe locations and of injector needle lift were compared to experimental results, substantiating the validity and robustness of the developed conservative model in simulating acoustic cavitation inception and desinence with great accuracy degree. Cavitation transients and the flow discontinuities induced by them were numerically predicted and analyzed.

High-Pressure Die-Casting (HPDC) is an important process for manufacturing high-volume and low-cost components. In this process molten metal is injected at high speed under high pressure into the die cavity, which often leads to entrapment of air into the liquid metal. This will cause air porosity after solidification, the main defect in the parts made by HPDC. The aim of this work was to develop a CFD multiphase flow simulation method to numerically study the air porosity defect formation in HPDC. Some numerical models have been developed to predict the air porosity defect in HPDC. However, most of them are limited to one phase flow model which could only simulate the filling process of liquid metal. In this study both the bulk fluid and surrounding air were modeled by a 3D multiphase flow model. The proposed model can describe the entrapment, advection and coalescence of air bubbles within the melt, and thus has the ability to accurately simulate the air porosity defect formation in HPDC. In the present paper, an incompressible-compressible two-phase flow model was developed. The numerical benchmark test of a broken dam problem was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Then numerical model was applied to simulate a high speed water filling process. Results of the modeling were compared with corresponding experimental data and good agreement has been found.

When Venturi meters are used in wet gas, the measured differential pressure is higher than it would be in gas phases flowing alone. This phenomenon is called over-reading. Eight famous over-reading correlations have been studied by many researchers under low- and high-pressure conditions, the conclusion is separated flow model and homogeneous flow model performing well both under high and low pressures. In this study, a new metering method is presented based on homogeneous and separated flow theory; the acceleration pressure drop and the friction pressure drop of Venturi under two-phase flow conditions are considered in new correlation, and its validity is verified through experiment. For low pressure, a new test program has been implemented in Tianjin University’s low-pressure wet gas loop. For high pressure, the National Engineering Laboratory offered their reports on the web, so the coefficients of the new proposed correlation are fitted with all independent data both under high and low pressures. Finally, the applicability and errors of new correlation are analyzed.
