CFD software for incompressible flow through nozzle

vmcmech · March 8, 2016, 06:06

Please suggest me the CFD software for in-compressible flow through nozzle. I want to simulate the flow of high pressure diesel thorough with different shape of spray hole. results expected: velocity plot, cavitation.

Dear vmcmech,
If your flow is single phase, anything from Fluent, CD adapco, CFX, or openFOAM would do.
If, as I suspect from the mention of diesel spray, you are looking at small liquid droplets in air (or gas in general), then you may want to try KIVA (from Losa Alamos National Lab)

How is the flow you're describing incompressible and not, at least a low-Mach, compressible flow?
