Modeling Diesel Engine Injector Flows

Abstract

This project is focused on the study of flows inside diesel injector flow passages with emphasis on resolution of time-dependent cavitation regions within the device. During the past year, the turbulent axisymmetric model has undergone substantial validation. In addition, an improved inflow boundary condition has been developed to increase accuracy in predicting discharge characteristics of these devices.
