Abstract

To accurately predict the brake performance of hydrodynamic retarder, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to transient numerical simulation of liquid-gas two-phase flow in this paper. It obtained the distribution characteristic of pressure and velocity, and calculated the braking torque. On the basis, relation curves of braking torque and liquid filling rate are plotted. Comparison between simulation results and experimental data shows that simulation results are in good agreement  with experimental data. It is indicated that predicting the performance of hydrodynamic retarder by the CFD simulation is accurate and practicable.
