摘要
The onset of cavitating conditions inside the nozzle of liquid injectors is known to play a major role on spray characteristics,especially on jet penetration and break-up.In this work,we present a Direct Numerical Simulation(DNS)based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM)to study the fluid dynamic field inside the nozzle of a cavitating injector.The formation of the cavitating region is determined via a multi-phase approach based on the Shan-Chen equation of state.The results obtained by the LBM simulation show satisfactory agreement with both numerical and experimental data.In addition,numerical evidence of bubble break-up,following upon flow-induced cavitation,is also reported.
