Abstract In this research, the dynamics of wet spray nozzles with different geometries, used to accelerate shotcrete, are investigated on the basis of a suitable
three-dimensional mathematical model and related numerical method. Simulations have been conducted in the frame of the SIMPLEC algorithm. The k-ε
turbulence model has been used to account for turbulent effects. The study shows
that when the angle of the convergent section is less than 3°, it has a scarce effect
on the dynamics of the jet of shotcrete; with the increase of the convergence
angle, the shotcrete jet velocity decreases and More >
