This paper reports the discovery of a new resonant entrainment phenomenon associated with a confined, pulsed jet flow. It was found that a confined jet, when pulsed at an organ-pipe resonant frequency of the confinement tube, experiences greatly enhanced entrainment and mixing near the exit end of the confinement tube compared to a steady confined jet. The mixing and entrainment rates for the resonantly pulsed confined jet approach, and in some cases slightly exceed, those for an unconfined pulsed jet. Both visual and quantitative evidence of this phenomenon is presented. The new effect should be of considerable interest in ejector and combustor design, both of which benefit from any enhancement in mixing between a primary and a secondary flow.

A qualitative numerical study of the flow in the U-turn bend of return channel systems for multistage centrifugal compressors is presented. Calculations have been carried out using the flow analysis program FLUENT. The flow in the U-turn bend is highly three-dimensional and complex. The main cause for this is the circumferential variation of the velocity profile at the inlet of the bend. The circumferential variation of the velocity profile is an unavoidable result from the wake/jet flow at the exit of the impeller. In this article, first the effect of the wake/jet flow coming into the U-turn bend is studied. It is shown that the wake/jet flow develops to form the secondary flow in the U-turn bend. The secondary flow, with the high streamline curvature of the flow in the bend, makes the flow inside the bend highly complex. This complex flow is hard to predict with conventional turbulence models that have been developed on the basis of near homogeneity of flows. Comparing the present result with a study that successfully predicted the loss and flow behaviour in the bend, a discussion is presented on the turbulence and the turbulence models. Also, the loss mechanisms in the U-turn bend are discussed in detail.

The objective of the present research is to study the effectiveness of steady and pulsed vortex generator jets in reducing inlet flow distortion and in improving pressure recovery by effective secondary flow control in uniform inflow Serpentine duct diffuser. The measurements were carried out in at a test Reynolds number of 6.5×105 based on the diffuser inlet width. Serpentine duct diffuser consisted of two main portions namely square to circular constant area followed by a circular diffusing duct. Investigations show that the flow in the serpentine diffusing duct suffers from stall on the inner wall and the outflow at AIP has considerable flow distortion due the combined effect of secondary flow and the inner wall stall. It is observed that the use of vortex generator jets both in steady and pulsed modes improve the performance substantially. The number of jets, location of jets, velocity ratios and the pulse frequency are some of the variables that are studied. The results obtained so far suggest that use of pulsed jet not only gives better performance but also reduces the amount of air that need to be injected through the jets in comparison to steady jets for similar velocity ratios.
