Abstract The air-jet nozzle is the key component in the yarn-texturing process. The high-pressure air inside the air-jet nozzle, characterized by the strong turbulence and vorticity, enhances the texturing of yarn. This paper employs the methods of computational fluid dynamics to investigate the internal flow field of air-jet nozzle. The calculated results are then compared with experimental measurements published Acar and Wray. Two type of air-jet nozzle are analyzed: Hemajet air-jet nozzle and Cylindrical air-jet nozzle. The Hemajet nozzle is computed at an inlet pressure from 4.0e105 Pa to 7.0e105 Pa, while the Cylindrical nozzle is only computed for the inlet pressure of 6.0e105 Pa.
