Abstract. The changes in vortical and turbulent structure in the near field (X/D < 3.0) of jet mixing flow caused by a lobed nozzle were investigated experimentally in the present study. The techniques of planar laser induced fluorescence and particle image velocimetry were used to accomplish flow visualization and velocity field measurements. The experimental results showed that, compared with...

Wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. In this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. This study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

Two-phase flow instability in microchannel flow boiling exhibits pressure fluctuations with different frequencies and amplitudes. One possible way to suppress the dynamic instability is to introduce synthetic jet near the inlet of the channel. An important feature of synthetic jet is that it allows momentum transfer into the microchannel flow without net mass injection into it. The strength and...

The vortical and turbulent structure changes in the near field (X/D<3.0) of the jet mixing flow caused by a lobed nozzle had been investigated experimentally in the present study. The techniques of planar Laser Induced Fluoresce (LIF) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) were used to accomplish the flow visualization and velocity field measurements. The experimental results showed that, compare...

in this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. the cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. the nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of dust i...

OBJECTIVE During extracorporeal circulation design and orientation of aortic cannulae tips mainly determine flow pattern in the aortic arch and arch vessels which is the objective of this in vitro study, comparing single versus multiple stream cannulae. METHODS In an aortic arch glass model, jet streams of 21-24 French aortic cannulae which were inserted in the ascending aorta were directed a...

The corresponding laminar problem has been theoretically analyzed by Schlichting3 in 1933. Neither of these solutions, however, holds for finite opening, i.e. at a short distance from the opening. Kuethe,3 in 1935, extended Tollmien's results to the case of a two-dimensional jet issuing into a medium not at rest and also worked out an approximate method for'the computation of the velocity profi...
