description In order to improve the life cycle and cutting ability of a suspension abrasive water jet nozzle at the same time, hydrodynamics technology, an enumeration method and multiparameter orthogonal optimization are used to optimize the nozzle section geometry, taking the inlet diameter coefficient of the nozzle, the axial length coefficient of the contraction section and the contraction section curve as optimization variables, and selecting the peak velocity and the unit flow erosion rate as the indicators, it is concluded that the optimal contraction section curve is a Widosinski curve, the optimal inlet diameter coefficient of the nozzle is 0.333 and the optimal axial length coefficient of the contraction section is 2.857. Compared with the commercial product single cone nozzle, the performance of the optimal section nozzle improves by 5.64% and the life cycle increases by 43.2%. On this basis, the effects of operating parameters, including inlet pressure, abrasive particle flow rate and abrasive particle size, are further studied. It is determined that the optimal section nozzle has the best performance under the above operating parameters. It is demonstrated that by optimizing the nozzle section geometry, the cutting capacity and life cycle of the nozzle are improved, the performance of the nozzle can be significantly improved and the optimization of the performance of the nozzle is realized.
