To research the nozzle cavitation and near-field spraying characteristics
visualization experiments were carried out using a high-speed camera and a single transparent up-sized nozzle to observe the nozzle cavitation and near-field spraying behavior of three ethanol-diesel blended fuels with the volume fractions of et

wherein the letters of E
D and N represent ethanol
diesel and n-butanol respectively while the subscripts indicate the volume fraction of each component. The experimental results showed that
with the increase of volume fraction of ethanol
the threshold injection pressures corresponding to original cavitation and super cavitation were decreased
and the periods of developing cavitation were shortened but the periods of supercavitation were extended. During the no-cavitation stage
the change of volume fraction of ethanol had no obvious influence on near-field spraying cone angle; during the developing cavitation stage
the near-field spraying cone angle increased with the increase of volume fraction of ethanol; and during the hydraulic flip stage
the near-field spraying cone angles of three blended fuels were all close to zero. Under the same injection pressure

and when hydraulic flip appeared inside the nozzle
the discharge coefficients and the Reynolds numbers of these three blended fuels were all decreased sharply.
