A liquid fuel injection nozzle with a novel fuel atomization strategy which actively utilizes the effect of collapse of cavitation bubbles in a liquid jet is proposed. The nozzle comprises two orifices and an intermediate cavity between the orifices. The role of the upstream first orifice is to generate the cavitation bubbles at both inlet and exit of the orifice. The intermediate cavity is placed to hold the cavitation bubble within it. The role of the downstream second orifice is to mix the cavitation bubbles and liquid fuel, and to inject the mixture into atmosphere. Each size and relative positions of the first orifice, the intermediate cavity and the second orifice were studied using multi-phase computational fluid dynamics. Finally, a poppet type nozzle whose void fraction at the nozzle exit is 0.5 was designed.
