Fuel physical properties are known to influence in-nozzle flow behavior, in turn affecting
spray formation in internal combustion engines. A series of 3D simulations was performed to …

A transient numerical model was developed to investigate cavitating flow in fuel injection
nozzles, incorporating the effects of viscous heating and latent heat of phase change. A …

In this paper, a numerical study on the fuel flow in a nozzle hole considering the fuel
compressibility was performed. The results indicated that the discharge coefficient C d in the …

The regime of compressible flow generally refers to the super/subsonic case. However,
several remarkable cases with low Mach number could not be appropriately described with …

In this article, optical experiments on string cavitation and residual bubbles inside the real-
size transparent tapered diesel nozzle and near-nozzle spray structures were performed …

A multi-species cavitation model is applied to a high-pressure injection cycle. Results of
transient simulations with ballistic needle dynamics are presented. Species segregation in …

The fuel property effect on a high-pressure ballistic injection cycle is studied by n-dodecane
and n-heptane because these pure fuels have well-known and well-specified properties …

Methanol and ethanol are considered as potential candidates for alternative fuels in spark-
ignited engines and flex-fuel vehicles. Alcoholic fuels have higher latent heat of vaporization …

It is well known that in-nozzle flow behavior can significantly influence the near-nozzle spray
formation and mixing that in turn affect engine performance and emissions. This in-nozzle …

In the present work, a cavitation model based on a new truncated form of the full Rayleigh-
Plesset (RP) equation for the source terms controlling vapor generation and destruction has …
