Using an analytical model, a clear investigation was performed into the phenomenon of decreasing overall pressure and velocity of a plunger when its stroke within a natural gas injector changes. The results indicated the following mesh sizes from the mesh matrix: 0.0005 mm minimum, 12.7 mm maximum, 1,107,420 nodes, and 5,856,567 elements. Consequently, the pressure was affected by the stroke height from the designed plunger shape, and although the height of the plunger stroke changes over 0.150 mm, the absence of the phenomenon of pressure drop was noticeable.
