The flow of petroleum diesel fuel (DF) and rapeseed oil (RO) in the nozzle of a diesel injector under operating conditions was simulated numerically. Investigated the general flow characteristics, such as mass flow rate, discharge coefficient, injection rate, averaged turbulent kinetic energy at the nozzle outlet and volume concentration of fuel vapor in the nozzle, and local flow parameters. The saturation pressure of RO is determined by summing the saturation pressure of constituting RO triacylglycerides. At a fuel temperature of 40 °C, the mass flow rate, discharge coefficient, injection velocity and turbulent intensity at the outlet of the nozzle hole for RO are significantly less than petroleum DF for all injection pressures, and the RO cavitation level (fuel vapor) in the nozzle hole is also lower than petroleum DF due to extremely slow saturation pressure of RO. However, this difference between RO and petroleum DF decreases with increasing injection pressure due to the different cavitation levels of DF at different injection pressures.
