This paper investigates an isothermal free water jet discharging horizontally from a circular nozzle (9mm) into a stationary body of water. The jet exit velocity was 2.5m∕s and the exit Reynolds number was 22,500. The large-scale structures in the far field were investigated by performing a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis of the velocity field obtained using a particle image velocimetry system. The number of modes used for the POD reconstruction of the velocity fields was selected to recover 40% of the turbulent kinetic energy. A vortex identification algorithm was then employed to quantify the size, circulation, and direction of rotation of the exposed vortices. A statistical analysis of the distribution of number, size, and strength of the identified vortices was carried out to explore the characteristics of the coherent structures. The results clearly reveal that a substantial number of vortical structures of both rotational directions exist in the far-field region of the jet. The number of vortices decreases in the axial direction, while their size increases. The mean circulation magnitude is preserved in the axial direction. The results also indicate that the circulation magnitude is directly proportional to the square of the vortex radius and the constant of proportionality is a function of the axial location.

This work investigates natural convection in an enclosure with localized heating on the bottom wall with a flushed or protruded heat source and cooled on the top and the side walls. Velocity field measurements are done by using 2D particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has been used to create low dimensional approximations of the system for predicting the flow structures. The POD-based analysis reveals the modal structure of the flow field and also allows reconstruction of velocity field at conditions other than those used in PIV study.
