Abstract

Self-excited oscillating pulsed cavitation jet has many advantages, such as easy operation, simply maintenance, and low investment costs. Based on the structural parameters of the traditional Helmholtz and organ pipe single-chamber self-excited oscillating pulsed nozzles, Helmholtz + Helmholtz, organ pipe + organ pipe, and Helmholtz + organ pipe dual-chamber self-excited oscillating pulsed nozzles with different structures are established in series, and the internal flow field of the dual chamber is studied to obtain the best combination nozzle by comparing numerical simulation and erosion experiments. The results indicate that the cleaning effect is the best when adopting the combined structure of Helmholtz + organ pipe, which brings out the largest volume fraction of the nozzle cavity with higher gas content and higher kinetic energy with larger jet velocity. By comparing the erosion experiments, it is found that the flushing area and erosion depth of the nozzle with the ratio of cavity and wall (D/a) of 2.50 is significantly higher than the nozzle with the ratio of cavity and wall (D/a) of 5.00. The pulse pressure of the flushing target increases by 0.0044 MPa, the pressure amplitude of the former changes significantly in the same cavitation cycle, and the cleaning effect is best.
