Abstract Three-dimensional transient simulation is presented for swirling recirculating flow in a nozzle with a slotted-tube (different grooves) and the effect of the groove number is also investigated. The numerical results on the streamline angles are validated by experimental visualization using the surface oil flow technology. In the downstream center of the injectors, the vortex breakdown experiences a transition from bubble- to spiral- breakdown as time is increased. For all cases under study, as the sizes of two recirculation zones near the injector upstream wall and the step retain almost constant, the spiral breakdown shows a periodic development.
