Abstract

The nozzle is one of the critical parts in the dry-ice blasting system, spray nozzle's structure and the air supersonic free jet flow field take big influence on cleaning efficiency during the blasting process. Inner flow field of different size nozzles and the flow field of jet flow sprayed by nozzles were simulated with software Fluent, which obtained the distribution results of pressure and velocity of fluid. The result indicated that the supersonic underexpanded jet take place in the nozzle outlet and the shock wave is gained as the pressure at the nozzle exit is greater than the atmospheric pressure. With increasing of the nozzle size, the velocity decrease of airflow become slower, the shock wave transmission distance increase and deduce the stability of the jet flow.
