The first study concern a "low" fuel injection
velocity. We have solved the problem until a time of 35 ms. On the following
picture, we can see result on fuel mass fraction inside the injector.
The first phenomenon that we note concern the
symmetry of the flow. It's confirmed by the two cross
sections of fuel mass fraction.
Moreover, we note a fall in fuel mass fraction
near the wall for a cross section x= 0.1. This phenomenon can due to a
recirculation area behind fuel jets. In order to see these recirculation
areas, we have ploted the shaded contour of U
velocity : indeed, U velocity is negative near the wall behind fuel
jets, which could be explained by recirculation areas.
The mean fuel mass fraction have been ploted
after the last solution (at 22 ms i.e. 50000 iterations) during 30000 iterations.
We can conclude the same remarks than the instantaneous fuel mass fraction
contours : the flow is almost symmetrical, the outlet flow is not mixed.
Finally, this injection velocity is too low because
air and fuel are not mixed in the outlet of the injector. Actually, fuel
flow rate is not enough important compared to the air flow rate. A solution
is to increase fuel velocity.
