Abstract
The present work analyses the effect of the eccentricity of diesel nozzle orifices over the spray behaviour by means of CFD simulations. Several orifice geometries with varying horizontal eccentricity (from 0.50 to 0.94) are selected. Their performance is assessed at a high injection pressure of 200 MPa, a 3 MPa back-pressure and non-evaporative conditions. The nozzle flow characteristics, including cavitation modelled by a Homogeneous Relaxation Model (HRM), are accounted for in the spray performance by means of a Σ - Y model. The code is validated via two reference nozzles, the so called ”Spray A” of the Engine Combustion Network plus a second nozzle from a production injector, and then extended to the eccentric geometries. The results and discussions include spray angle and penetration, air entrainment and flow parameters of the nozzle inner conditions versus the eccentricity value.
