Oil Jet Stability
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello,

i am student from Germany and i am working on my graduation work.
My English is pretty bad, but i have a problem and cant find a solution.
So i decided to do my best and try to explain what i am doing, maybe someone can help me.

From researches i know there are 3 different states of Oil-Jet-Break up. The Jet forms droplets or sprays, depending on the reynolds-number and weber-number. (depending on viscosity, velocity, surface-tension etc.)

Heres my problem, i try to simulate it (plane) with the boundary conditions of the engine, and the Oil-Jet does nothing like that. Its just a laminar Jet right into the cooling-channel. The Jet doesent break up. I uploaded different picture showing my Problem and my input data for the simulation. I dont think that my solution is right and the Jet dont break up.

Maybe someone understands my Problem and can help me. I dont know witch parameter i should change.. i tryed diffrent velocitys, pressure, mass-flows and it wont effect the result. But changes should affect the result. It always looks like a Laminar Jet (left Picture in the Figure) and what i am expecting is a turbulent flow (right picture in the Figure)
