 abstract={The surface temperature of steel billets during hot rolling can reach up to 1200 °C. High temperature promotes rapid oxidation of the surface of steel billets, forming a dense oxide layer similar to fish scales. If not removed in a timely manner, it will damage the surface of the steel billets and exacerbate the wear of the rolls during the descaling process. There are many methods for descaling, but high-pressure water jet has become the main method for descaling due to its excellent descaling performance, low cost, and ease of use. The tip of the descaling nozzle serves as the main component, and its structural parameters affect the final descaling effect. This research changes the shape factor of the nozzle groove curve and the diameter of the nozzle throat, and performs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations on the simplified nozzle external flow field. The axial velocity at the center of the jet generates a velocity peak at 0.5-1 Dc. The peak velocity increases with the increase of shape factor and throat diameter, and the influence of shape factor on the peak velocity is greater. For a constant target distance, the length of the velocity stable section along the jet impact line increases with the increase of the shape factor. The maximum value of dynamic pressure increases, and the smaller the target distance, the greater the dynamic pressure difference. The trend of water volume is roughly the same as that of dynamic pressure.},
