A moving mesh generation strategy for solving an injector internal flow problem

The ability to handle complex geometries is an important part of transient calculations; therefore, the need for fully automatic mesh generation capable of dealing with such geometries is quite demanded. In this paper a specific approach to fully automatic three-dimensional mesh generation is presented. An approach to moving the generated mesh is also outlined. In particular, the simulation of a diesel injector needle movement is sought. The movement of the needle was calculated on the basis of injection rate experimental data and injection rate predicted data with steady state boundaries and geometry. The simulation was performed using the commercial code STAR-CD version 4.06 .
