Large eddy simulations (LES) of co-flowing round jets with 33.6 million grid points are carried out using 16 Sun 1 GHz UltraSPARC III Cu processors. An in-depth processor scalability analysis is carried out for an MPI based code for a finite-volume solution of time dependent Navier-Stokes equations. The solver is based on a second-order structured staggered grid discretization, second-order tim...

For fundamental analysis of the transport of mass or heat in a dispersed system, accurate knowledge of behavior of jet is prerequisite. For generation of high interfacial area breaking of liquid jet in to small droplet is necessary. Liquid jet breakup is a complex phenomenon and dependent on many factors like velocity of jet, pressure difference, geometry of nozzle, temperature of both fluid, p...

Numerical model simulations of idealized and observed flows are used to investigate the dynamics of low-level jet streams that form in stratified flow downstream of the vertex of large elliptical barriers such as the southern tip of Greenland, hereafter referred to as ‘‘tip jets’’. The tip jet dynamics are governed by conservation of Bernouli function as parcels accelerate down the pressure gra...

A control law to improve jet flow mixing is presented. The control law employs a pair of actuators at the jet nozzle exit that act on the shear layers near the corners by blowing and subtracting fluid in an anti-symmetric fashion and a sensor downstream or at the nozzle exit with a time delay that measures the pressure difference across the nozzle diameter. A 2-D jet flow is numerically simulat...

The k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model is adopted to study the hydrodynamic performance of the water-jet axial pump which is applied in Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). The numerical simulation of the whole passage of the water-jet pump is carried out for four different tip clearance with δ = 0.3 mm, δ = 0.8 mm, δ = 1 mm and δ = 1.4 mm. And the results, in term of external charact...

The transverse momentum flow inside jets is a sensitive measure of internal jet structure. For the current jets in deep inelastic scattering this jet shape measure is determined at order α s, i.e. with up to three partons inside a single jet. The scale dependence of jet shapes in various jet algorithms is discussed. Results agree well with recent measurements by the ZEUS Collaboration, without ...

Although various hydrodynamic models have been used in past analyses of squid jet propulsion, no previous investigations have definitively determined the fluid structure of the jets of steadily swimming squid. In addition, few accurate measurements of jet velocity and other jet parameters in squid have been reported. We used digital particle imaging velocimetry (DPIV) to visualize the jet flow ...

The current work experimentally investigates the flow characteristics of an air jet impinging on an open rotor-stator system with a low non-dimensional spacing, G = 0.02, and with a very low aspect ratio, e/D = 0.25. The rotational Reynolds numbers varied from 0.33 × 10 to 5.32 × 10, while the jet Reynolds numbers ranged from 17.2×10 to 43×10. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were ...

Cavitation bubbles accompany explosive vaporization of water following pulsed energy deposition in liquid media. Bubbles collapsing at the tip of a surgical endoprobe produce a powerful and damaging water jet propagating forward in the axial direction of the probe. We studied interaction of such jet with tissue using fast flash photography and modeled the flow dynamics using a two-dimensional R...

A 2D (axisymmetric) computational study of the discharge characteristics of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet as a function of gas flow rate was performed. The helium jet emerged from a dielectric tube, with an average gas flow velocity in the range 2.5–20 m s−1 (1 atm, 300 K) in a nitrogen ambient, and impinged on a substrate a short distance dowstream. The effect of the substrate conductivit...
