Under-expanded hydrogen jets, Core length, Penetration, Mass injection rate, Nozzle pressure ratioAbstract
The work presented a numerical study on the transient characteristics of under-expanded hydrogen jets from a cylindrical nozzle. The finite-volume solution was adopted in the two-dimensional simulation of high-pressure chocked hydrogen jets, by solving the Navier-Stokes equations for gas phase flow. Numerical analyses were respectively performed over the micro level to characterize the fine structures, and over macro levels to explore the key global parameters of the gaseous jets. Parameterization work was conducted in terms of the microscopic characteristics of jets, such as, the length of jet core, the diameter of jet vortex, and the key global parameters, i.e. the penetration and the steady fuel injection rate. The effects of the injection parameters on the micro-structure and macro characteristics were hence quantified.
