Published data on unconfined plane-wall jets and plane-free jets were reviewed and used to assess the accuracy of numerical simulations, A plane-free jet was numerically simulated using the standard k-e model and four nonuniform grid patterns (70 x32,100 x52,120 x 60, and 120 x 74), The solution for a plane-free jet with adequate grid resolution was in good agreement with the published data, A ...

The radiation of sound from a perfectly expanded Mach 2.5 cold supersonic jet of 25.4 mm exit diameter flowing through a partially open rigid-walled duct with an upstream i-deflector has been studied experimentally. In the experiments, the nozzle is mounted vertically, with the nozzle exit plane at a height of 73 jet diameters above ground level. Relative to the nozzle exit plane (NEP), the loc...

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, studying jet correlations and their dependence on the angle of emission with respect to the reaction plane can be used to shed light on the path length dependence of the energy lost by the jet. In this paper, we present recent PHENIX results on jet correlations versus reaction plane, as a function of centrality and transverse momentum.

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 ...

This is a continuation of our research on the Universal Planar Manipulator (UPM), a device capable of manipulating multiple generic objects (cans, chess pieces, poker chips, tools, etc.) with a single horizontally-vibrating, rigid plate (3 dofs). Objects are propelled by sliding frictional forces developed against the vibrating plate. A special plate vibration creates an average force field cal...

We discussed methods used by the PHENIX to constrain the flow background in the two particle jet correlation. Both the background level and elliptic flow can be reliably decomposed from the jet contribution. We also studied the non-flow contribution to the reaction plane elliptic flow due to dijets. We found the jet bias is negligible in PHENIX, when the reaction plane is measured at Beam Beam ...

The variation in the volume of rock removed when a water jet traverses over a sample of Barre Granite is shown to vary with the angle at which the sample is cut relative to the orientation of the main deposit. For example where the jet impacts perpendicular to a microfissure plane a channel up to 10 times the volume is cut as when the jet is traversed along the microfissure plane. A correlation...

SUMMARY An experimental study has been made of an incompressible turbulent plane jet exhausting downstream into an external flow having a favourable longitudinal pressure gradient approximating that of two-dimensional sink flow. Four flows were studied, for which the ratios of mainstream and jet velocities at the exit plane of the jet were in the range from 0.1 to 0.5. For each case velocity pr...

Recent Chandra X-ray observations of jets in central cluster galaxies show interesting features around the symmetry plane. We have carried out simulations involving bipolar jets, removing the artificial boundary condition at the symmetry plane. We use a very low jet density (IGM/jet ≈ 10 4) and take into account a decreasing density profile. We find that the jet bow shock undergoes two phases: ...
