Flowing low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma devices have been used in many technological applications ranging from energy efficient combustion through to wound healing and cancer therapy. The generation of the plasma causes a sudden onset of turbulence in the inhomogeneous axisymmetric jet flow downstream of the plasma plume. The mean turbulent velocity fields are shown to be self-simil...

We present a comprehensive set of axisymmetric, time-dependent simulations of jets from Keplerian disks whose mass loading as a function of disk radius is systematically changed. For a reasonable model for the density structure and injection speed of the underlying accretion disk, mass loading is determined by the radial structure of the disk’s magnetic field structure. We vary this structure b...

Approximated solutions to two-dimensional and axisymmetric jet impinging flows have been presented here. Assumptions have been made to reduce the related full Navier-Stokes equations to a non-linear ordinary differential equation. The Admomian decomposition method (ADM) has been employed to obtain an approximated solution to this differential equation. A trial and error strategy has been used t...

Previous studies of the flow created inside a cylindrical cavity ~radius R , height H) of fluid by a single rotating end wall have shown that over a range of cylinder aspect ratios 1.6&H/R&2.8, the first unsteady flows to bifurcate with increasing Reynolds number retain axisymmetry, and subsequent bifurcations break axisymmetry to give solutions with modulated rotating wave ~MRW! states. The un...

We have performed a fully three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulation of jet formation from a thin accretion disk around a Schwarzschild black hole with a free-falling corona. The initial simulation results show that a bipolar jet (velocity ∼ 0.3c) is created as shown by previous two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations with mirror symmetry at the equator. The ...

Helped by the careful analysis of their experimental data, Worthington & Cole (1897, 1900) described roughly the mechanism underlying the formation of high-speed jets ejected after the impact of an axisymmetric solid on a liquid-air interface. They made the fundamental observation that the intensity of these sharp jets was intimately related to the formation of an axisymmetric air cavity in the...

Relativistic jets in Galactic superluminals and extragalactic AGN may be surrounded by a wind near to the central engine. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation reveal considerable stabilization of relativistic jet flow by a wind to helical and higher order asymmetric modes of jet distortion. When velocities are measured in the source (inlet) frame, reduction in the absolute velocity dif...

Using jet propulsion, squid can swim at high speed or at low speed with good maneuverability, which makes them quiet valuable to be studied for biomimetic purposes. Vortex rings usually occur in the highly-unsteady jet flow in squid, and they play quite important roles in the jet propulsion of squid. This paper tries to investigate the squid jet structure by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) a...

We present results from an experimental investigation of turbulent transport and molecular mixing of a Sc S 1 conserved scalar in the fully developed self-similar far field of a steady, axisymmetric, momentum-driven, free turbulent jet issuing into a quiescent medium. Our experiments cover the axial range from the jet exit to 350 diameters downstream, and span the range of Reynolds numbers from...
