This paper employs the methods of computational fluid dynamics to simulate the internal flow field of ATY nozzles to analyze the texturing characteristics of different air-jet texturing yarn nozzles. The inviscid compressible flow field inside ATY nozzles is calculated by solving the continuity equation, momentum equation and energy equation. Because the texturing process mainly depends on axial and tangential velocity components, the texturing properties of yarn are determined by a dimensionless coefficient, the texturability, which is defined by the mean vorticity, mean axial velocity and the characteristic length of channel. With the help of measurements, we reified a new quantitative relationship between the texturability and the texturing characteristics, which is proven to have high prediction accuracy.
