Modeling water jet exiting nozzle

pluto · August 22, 2009, 10:10

Hi,

I require help with the following.. I am modeling the flow of an incompressible liquid through a converging nozzle. I have managed to successfully model the internal flow of the liquid through the nozzle. Can anyone explain to me how I can model the external flow of the water jet discharging into the atmosphere?

Thanks

If you are injecting your liquid into an atmospheric air, then it seems that you need to model it using Multi-phase mixture and Eulerian Multiphase model. Besides that enable Surface Tension and Gravity models too.

I hope that it should work for your problem.
