The invention relates to a solenoid valve (10) having a housing (20), having a valve actuation device (15, 26) and having a closing element (35), wherein the housing (20) comprises an interior space (25) with a central axis (30), wherein the valve actuation device comprises an actuator (15) which is arranged in the interior space (25) so as to be displaceable along the central axis (30), wherein the actuator (15) is operatively connected to the closing element (35) such that the solenoid valve (10) is opened or closed by means of a displacement of the actuator (15) along the central axis (30), wherein the actuator (15) together with the housing (20) delimit, in the interior space (25) of the housing (20), a leakage chamber (65) that can be filled with a fluid, in particular a fuel, wherein, in the leakage chamber (65), at least one vortex generator (95) is arranged on the housing (20) and/or on the actuator (15), which vortex generator is designed to generate a fluid vortex (156, 165) in the leakage chamber (65).
