Abstract
An anaysis on the discharge performance of an impinging-type injector for cavitating flow has been conducted by both numerical and experimental method. The predicted discharge coefficient for cavitating flow agrees well with the measured data showing less than 1% discrepancy. For the case of non-cavitating flow analysis, the disagreement between CFD results and the experimental data is 8%. The discharge coefficient for the cavitating flow decreases with decrease in the Reynolds number. On the other hand, it increases slightly as the Reynolds number increases for the non-cavitating flow because of the reduced viscous effect. From the present study, it is confirmed that the fact that cavitation phenomena should be included to predict accurately the discharge performance of injectors for cavitating flow regime. The uniformity of density and velocity magnitude degraded at the injector exit, and the secondary flow strength through the injector orifice accentuated due to cavitation.
