Simulation of transient effects in a fuel injector nozzle using real-fluid thermodynamic closure

Numerical predictions of the fuel heating and cavitation erosion location indicators occurring during the opening and closing periods of the needle valve inside a five-hole common rail Diesel fuel injector are presented. These have been obtained using an explicit density-based solver of the compress...
