Steady, incompressible flow solutions are found numerically for a radially expanding liquid sheet in order to confirm analytical results for inviscid flow and to investigate viscous and nonlinear effects. An hp-finite element method is used to perform the numerical simulations. Comparisons are made to theoretical predictions of the radius where the sheet becomes unstable. To determine the criti...

To better understand the complex phenomena occurring inside furnaces with direct flame impingement and extend existent studies to situations multiple enclosed jets, numerical simulations of a radial array four turbulent confined jets impinging on cylinder are presented. The three-dimensional, incompressible, steady, averaged equations for transport mass, momentum, energy species were solved. Tu...
