description Water jet technology is widely used in various fields, in which the nozzle is an important element to form the jet. To solve the problem of low water jet operation efficiency of square nozzles, the internal flow channel structure of the nozzle of the key jet device is studied. Through the combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments, the influence of main structural parameters such as the contraction angle and length-to-diameter ratio of the inner flow channel on the velocity and length of the constant-velocity core region is explored. Since the jet flow structure is a symmetrical structure along the axial direction, the model of the jet flow structure was built half of the model along the axial direction. The results show that a smaller length-to-diameter ratio and a smaller contraction angle of the nozzle result in better jet cohesion and lower dynamic pressure in the constant-velocity core area, which is more suitable for long-distance, low-pressure water jet operations.
