This paper describes the effect of jet injection angle, cross flow Reynolds number and velocity ratio on entrainment and mixing of jet with incompressible cross flow in venturi-jet mixer. Five different jet injection angles 45o, 60o, 90o, 125o, 135o are tested to evaluate the entrainment of jet and mixing performances of the mixer. Tracer concentration along the downstream of the jet injection, cross flow velocity, jet velocity and pressure drop across the mixer are determined experimentally to characterize the mixing performance of the mixer. The experiments show that the performance of a venturi-jet-mixer substantially improves at high injection angle and can be augmented still by increasing velocity ratio. The jet deflects much and penetrates less in the cross flow as the cross flow Reynolds number is increased. The effect could contribute substantially to the better mixing index with moderate pressure drop. Normalized jet profile, concentration decay, jet velocity profile are computed from equations of conservation of mass, momentum and concentration written in natural co-ordinate systems. The comparison between the experimental and numerical results confirms the accuracy of the simulations. Correlations for jet trajectory and entrainment ratio of the mixer are obtained by multivariate-linear regression analysis using power law.

Two Jets

This paper deals with studying numerically two circular turbulent jets impinging on a flat surface with a low velocity cross flow by using ANSYS CFX 16.2, with the aim of proving the effect ofReynolds number on the flow demeanor in a vertical circular free turbulent jet with cross flow. Five turbulence models of the RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes) approach were tested and the k -ω SST model was chosen to validate CFD results with the experimental data. Average velocity profiles, velocity and turbulent kinetic energy contours and streamlines are presented for four case configurations. In the first three cases, the following parameters have been varied: Reynolds number at the level of the two jets ( ), wind velocity at the level of the cross-flow ( ), and the distance between the two jets (S = 45mm, 90mm and 135mm). In the last case, a new configuration of the phenomenon not yet studied so far was treated, where horizontal cross-flows were introduced from both sides in order to simulate gusts of wind disrupting a VSTOL aircraft which tries to operate close to the ground. This case was carried out for Reynolds number based on the crossflow of 4 104, 10 104 and 20 104 .The numerical results obtained show that the deflection of the jets is minimal when the Reynolds number at the level of the jets is greater than that of the cross-flow. The increase of Reynolds number at the level of the cross-flow reveals a significant deviation of the two jets with an intensity which always remains less for the second jet. As for the space parameter between the two jets, it turns out that the fact of further spacing the two jets makes the first jet even more vulnerable and leads to a greater deflection. Finally, the simulation of the wind gusts from the front and the back caused a zone of turbulence which resulted from a form of "interlacing" of the two jets under the effect of the transverse current imposed by the two sides.

Cross Flow Velocity

The effect of the jet-to-cross-flow velocity ratio, R, on the turbulent wake of a cylindrical stack of AR = 9 was investigated with two-component thermal anemometry. The cross-flow Reynolds number was ReD = 2.3×104, the jet Reynolds number ranged from Red = 7×103 to 4.6×104, and R was varied from 0 to 3. The stack was partially immersed in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer, with a boundary layer thickness-to-height ratio of δ/H = 0.5 at the location of the stack. The flow around the stack was broadly classified into three flow regimes depending on the value of R, which were the downwash (R < 0.5), cross-wind dominated (0.5 < R < 1.5), and jet-dominated (R > 1.5) regimes. Each flow regime had a distinct structure to the mean velocity (streamwise and wall-normal directions), turbulence intensity (streamwise and wall-normal directions), and Reynolds shear stress fields.

Spacing Ratio

The wake of two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement is investigated by flow visualization and PIV experiments in a towing water tank. The two cylinders are spaced at L/d (spacing ratio) = 2.0 to 15.0 and the cross flow Reynolds number ranges from 60 to 120. The flow is seeded with fine Rilsan particles and illuminated by a 2 mm thick laser sheet. The PIV image analysis is done by a standard cross correlation scheme with a powerful validation algorithm followed by multi-pass adaptive cross correlation iterations. The main objective of the study is to investigate the characteristics of the downstream cylinder wake changing considerably with the spacing ratio of the two cylinders.

Flow Reynolds Number

We have investigated the linear stability of plane Couette-Poiseuille flow in the presence of a cross-flow. The base flow is characterised by the cross flow Reynolds number, Ri and the dimensionless wall velocity, k. Corresponding to each k ∈ [0,1], we have observed two ranges of Ri for which the flow is unconditionally linearly stable. In the lower range, we have a stabilisation of long wavelengths leading to a cut-off Ri. In this range, cross-flow stabilisation and Couette stabilisation appear to act via very similar mechanisms in this range, leading to the potential for robust compensatory design of flow stabilisation using either mechanism. As Ri is increased, we see first destabilisation and then stabilisation at very large Ri. The instability is again a long wavelength mechanism. A linear energy analysis reveals that in this range the Reynolds stress becomes amplified, the critical layer is irrelevant and viscous dissipation is completely dominated by the energy production/negation, which approximately balances at criticality.

Considered is double wall cooling, with full-coverage effusion-cooling on the hot side of the effusion plate, and a combination of impingement cooling and cross flow cooling, employed together on the cold side of the effusion plate. Data are given for a main stream flow passage with a contraction ratio (CR) of 4 for main stream Reynolds numbers Rems and Rems,avg of 157,000–161,000 and 233,000–244,000, respectively. Hot-side measurements (on the main stream flow or hot side of the effusion plate) are presented, which are measured using infrared thermography. Using a transient thermal measurement approach, measured are spatially resolved distributions of surface adiabatic film cooling effectiveness, and surface heat transfer coefficient. For the same Reynolds number, initial blowing ratio (BR), and streamwise location, increased thermal protection is often provided when the effusion coolant is provided by the cross flow/impingement combination configuration, compared to the cross flow only supply arrangement. In general, higher adiabatic effectiveness values are provided by the impingement only arrangement, relative to the impingement/cross flow combination configuration, when compared at the same Reynolds number, initial BR, and x/de location. Data for one streamwise location of x/de = 60 show that the highest net heat flux reduction line-averaged net heat flux reduction (NHFR) values are produced either by the impingement/cross flow combination configuration or by the impingement only arrangement, depending upon the particular magnitude of BR, which is considered.

Numerical studies have been performed to visualize vortical flow structures emerged from jet cross-flow interactions. A single square jet issuing perpendicularly into a cross-flow was simulated first, followed by two additional scenarios, that is, inclined square jet at angles of 30° and 60° and round and elliptic jets at an angle of 90°, respectively. The simulation considers a jet to cross-flow velocity ratio of 2.5 and a Reynolds number of 225, based on the free-stream flow quantities and the jet exit width in case of square jet or minor axis length in case of elliptic jet. For the single square jet, the vortical flow structures simulated are in good qualitative agreement with the findings by other researchers. Further analysis reveals that the jet penetrates deeper into the cross-flow field for the normal jet, and the decrease of the jet inclination angle weakens the cross-flow entrainment in the near-wake region. For both noncircular and circular jet hole shapes, the flow field in the vicinity of the jet exit has been dominated by large-scale dynamic flow structures and it was found that the elliptic jet hole geometry has maximum “lifted-off” effect among three hole configurations studied. This finding is also in good qualitative agreement with existing experimental observations.
