Offset Jet

A detailed study of the mean flow characteristics of a turbulent offset jet is presented. The flow is characterized by a longitudinal variation of curvature, skewed impingement onto a flat surface, a recirculating region, and the development of a wall jet region. Flow structure is described in the preimpingement, recirculation and impingement regions. An interdependence is shown among the pressure differential across the jet, jet curvature and entrainment. The magnitude of the curvature strain rate is found to be significant and implies that this flow cannot be accurately modelled as a thin shear layer. The jet decay and spread rates are similar to those of a plane jet if appropriate curved coordinates are used. The extent of the impingement region is approximately 20 nozzle widths downstream, in agreement with previous studies.

The effect of initial conditions in a [Formula: see text] sidewall enclosure on the mean flow characteristics of a three dimensional turbulent square wall jet has been studied experimentally. The initial conditions are varied by varying the length of the nozzle; it is varied as l/ h = 10, 50, and 90, where l and h indicates the nozzle length and the side of the square nozzle, respectively. The effect of nozzle length on initial velocity profiles, velocity distribution in lateral and wall normal directions, spread rate, decay of maximum mean velocity, local Reynolds number and similarity behaviour has been studied. The wall normal spread width is higher for the nozzle length l/h = 10 in the near field [Formula: see text] but this trend completely changed after [Formula: see text]. The spread rate is found independent of the initial condition of the nozzles in the fully developed region. The decay rate of maximum mean velocity is found higher for l/ h = 10 in the region of ([Formula: see text], whereas decay rate becomes independent of the initial conditions in the fully developed region [Formula: see text]. The local Reynolds number variation is also estimated along the downstream directions for present case and found that the local Reynolds number [Formula: see text] reaches approximately 56% of the jet exit Reynolds number [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] for nozzle length l/ h = 10, while it is 57% and 59% of Rejet for the nozzles [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively at the same location. The nozzle l/ h = 10 attained self similar behaviour more quickly as compared to the other nozzles. The sidewall played a significant role which pushed the fluid more towards the center resulting in a lower jet half width in the wall normal direction as compared to the corresponding case, without a sidewall. The decay rates of the maximum mean velocity for all the nozzles are estimated to be 1.08 which is in the accepted range found in the literature.

And Behavior

This paper reports experimental investigations on mean and turbulence characteristics of three-dimensional, incompressible, isothermal turbulent wall jets generated from orifices having the shapes of various segments of a circle. In Part 1, the mean flow characteristics are presented. The turbulence characteristics are presented in Part 2. The influence of the geometry on the characteristic decay region of the wall jet is brought out and the differences with other shapes are discussed. Mean velocity profiles both in the longitudinal and lateral planes are measured and compared with some of the theoretical profiles. Wall jet expansion rates and behavior of skin-friction are discussed. The influence of the geometry of the orifice on the various wall jet properties is presented and discussed. Particularly the differences between this class of geometry and rectangular geometries are critically discussed.

Modeling of acoustic propagation in a duct with absorbing treatment is considered. The surface impedance of the treatment is sought in the form of a rational fraction. The numerical model is based on a resolution of the linearized Euler equations by finite difference time domain for the calculation of the acoustic propagation under a grazing flow. Sensitivity analysis of the considered numerical model is performed. The uncertainty of the physical parameters is taken into account to determine the most influential input parameters. The robustness of the solution vis-a-vis changes of the flow characteristics and the propagation medium is studied.

The Mean

Numerical experiments in two dimensions are carried out in order to investigate the response of a typical aircraft structure to a mean flow and an acoustic excitation. Two physical problems are considered; one in which the acoustic excitation is applied on one side of the flexible structure and the mean flow is on the other side while in the second problem both the mean flow and acoustic excitation are on the same side. Subsonic and supersonic mean flows are considered together with a random and harmonic acoustic excitation. In the first physical problem and using a random acoustic excitation, the results show that at low excitation levels the response is unaffected by the mean flow Mach number. However, at high excitation levels the structural response is significantly reduced by increasing the Mach number. In particular, both the shift in the frequency response spectrum and the broadening of the peaks are reduced. In the second physical problem, the results show that the response spectrum is dominated by the lower modes (1 and 3) for the subsonic mean flow case and by the higher modes (5 and 7) in the supersonic case. When a harmonic excitation is used, it is found that in the subsonic case the power spectral density of the structural response shows a subharmonic (f/4) while in the supersonic case no subharmonic is obtained.
