Optical investigation of a cavitating flow in a 2D nozzle
Résumé
In heat engines (vehicle), cavitation plays an important role in fuel atomization mechanisms. The physics of cavitation as well as its impact on spray formation and injector efficiency are not well documented yet. Experimental investigations are required. The complexity of modern injectors and the extreme conditions of injection do not facilitate experimental investigations. In this paper, experiments are conducted in a simplified geometry. The model nozzle consists of a transparent 2D micro-channel supplied with a test-oil (ISO 4113). Velocity fields are obtained by means of a shadowgraph-like imaging arrangement using PIV components (double pulsed laser and double-frame camera). Pressure fields are obtained by interferometry coupled with a Schlieren technique.
