Abstract
The homogeneous field measurement of internal flow and spray of internal combustion engine injector nozzles under high pressure has always been one of the difficulties in experimental research. In this paper, an actual-size aluminum alloy nozzle is designed, and the simultaneous measurement of internal flow and near-field spray is successfully realized with the help of synchrotron radiation X-ray phase contrast imaging technology under an injection pressure of 30~90 MPa. For a 0.25 mm aperture nozzle, different radii of the inlet corner can induce different cavitation layer thicknesses, and the measured flow section shrinkage ratio is 0.70. The flow characteristics in the nozzle are entirely connected to the jet characteristics, indicating a tight correlation between internal flow and jet morphology. Finally, the internal cavitation of the nozzle was studied by the CFD simulation, and the simulation results are in good agreement with the experiment.
