Numerical and experimental investigation on flow field characteristics of organ pipe nozzle

As a new technology that is developed rapidly in recent decades, water jet technology is widely applied in coal, petroleum, chemical industry, aviation, construction, etc. Self-resonant cavitating jet, by playing cavitation, is capable of great destruction. As a typical kind of self-resonant cavitating nozzle, organ pipe nozzle has its special application. In this paper, the flow field of organ pipe nozzle was numerical simulated. Nozzles with different structures were manufactured according to simulation results; their performances were tested on different driving pressure under the condition of submerging. The results showed that working pressure, cavity length and cavity diameter had influence on the characteristics of organ pipe nozzle and it exited optimum parameters.
