文摘This paper discusses the flowing process inside a nozzle, especially the formation mechanism of cavitations within the nozzle and puts forward a nozzle flow model, which takes account of the injection conditions and nozzle geometry.

The comparisons between the computational and experimental results are performed, which show that the liquid spray characteristics could be more truly demonstrated by considering the existence of the cavitations.
