Progress in hole drilling technique is opening new perspectives in diesel nozzle design. In such a scenario, research on unconventional hole shapes looks worthwhile, in order to evaluate their influence on fuel flow features within the nozzle. In the present paper, investigations have been based on modeling. Moving from a standard hole configuration towards oval shaped holes, 3D-CFD campaigns have been devoted to highlight the hole layout influence on diesel nozzle flow.
