description Steam jet condensation in flow water under different conditions was investigated numerically. A cavitation model considering thermodynamic effects was proposed to study the flow and interfacial heat transfer characteristics. The distribution of thermodynamic parameters and the influence of different incident angles on the jet state were studied. The decrease in steam pressure and water subcooling would have a negative impact on the heat transfer coefficient of the interface and the length of plume. Furthermore, with increased water flow, the steam plume was tapered and its length was gradually shortened. Additionally, the turbulent kinetic energy is the maximum at the outlet of the nozzle and decreases with increasing flow distance. The distribution characteristic of the heat transfer coefficient is similar to and turbulence kinetic energy, which increases with the water mass flux, and reaches the maximum at both sides of the axis. Gradually increases in the middle of the axis. Therefore, the improvement of jet condensation should be achieved by adjusting the incidence angle and the water flow velocity.
