Abstract:

In order to explore the distribution of flow field inside the swirl nozzle under different inlet pressure conditions, modeling and numerical simulation analysis of the nozzle were carried out by fluid analysis software STAR-CCM+ and ANSYS CFX. The velocity and pressure distribution cloud chart of the air flow in the swirl nozzle was obtained during spinning. The results show that the flow mechanism of the air through the inlet of the air passage follows the eddy current effect, and the airflow in the swirl shape flows out to both ends of the yarn passage, which slightly untwists the yarn and further reduces the hairiness. The comparison diagram of flow field inside the nozzle shows that the inlet pressure has no effect on the distribution of yarn stress, but the fluctuation amplitude of air pressure increases with inlet pressure is increased. The larger is the fluctuation amplitude, the more favorable it becomes for the wrapping of hairiness and the stronger is the wrapping effect on fiber bundles. However, it was found that the excessive air pressure will cause more fiber loss.

Key words: swirl nozzle, numerical simulation, hairiness, airflow field, STAR-CCM+, spinning
