The results of detailed numerical simulation of the flow in an injector including electrohydro- dynamic interaction in sharply inhomogeneous electric field formed by electrode system closed to the needle-plane type are presented. The aim of the simulation is to estimate the charge rate flow at the fuel injector outlet. The results were obtained using the open-source package OpenFOAM in which the corresponding models of electrohydrodynamics were added. The para- metric calculations were performed for axisymmetric model using RANS k–ω SST turbulence model. Due to swirl device in fuel injector the flow is strongly swirling. To obtain parameters for axisymmetric flow calculations the 3D simulation was performed for the simplified injector model including swirl device and without electrodes
