Abstract
In this paper, planar time-resolved particle image velocimetry measurements are reported in the near-field of a coaxial jet at velocity ratios, = 0.66, 1.0 and 1.32. At each , at least two different Reynolds numbers, Re, were investigated. Spatial distributions of mean velocities, Reynolds stresses, vorticity and swirling strength strongly depend on . Re effects in the normalized, mean velocity distributions were mainly visible in the wake associated with the finite lip thickness. In addition, increased normalized Reynolds stresses were obtained at 1.5 for the lowest Re at a given . Farther downstream, Re effects became negligible as inner and outer jets merged. A comparison between different terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget showed that TKE is predominantly produced in the outer shear layer, while turbulent diffusion results in radial transport. Mean advection of TKE (a “sink” term) is mainly significant close to the nozzle exit.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow welcomes high-quality original contributions on experimental, computational, and physical aspects of convective heat transfer and fluid dynamics relevant to engineering or the environment, including multiphase and microscale flows.
Papers reporting the application of these disciplines to design and development, with emphasis on new technological fields, are also welcomed. Some of these new fields include microscale electronic and mechanical systems; medical and biological systems; and thermal and flow control in both the internal and external environment.
