Three-dimensional vorticity dynamics in a coflowing turbulent jet subjected to axial and azimuthal perturbations

Abstract
The effect of axial and azimuthal forcing on the spreading and mixing characteristics in the near field (x/D<13) of a coflowing, turbulent (Re>2000) water jet is studied by means of planar, laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) visualizations. Measurements of both the initial spreading rate of the jet and the decay of the concentration along the centerline of the jet show a marked increase in the mixing of the jet as a result of the axial forcing. The mixing enhancement, which is shown to depend on the wavenumber of the azimuthal forcing, the frequency of the axial forcing, and the Reynolds number of the jet, results from the formation of vortex loops caused by the global induction of the jet's vorticity. This vortex induction mechanism appears to be similar to the vorticity modes earlier found in laminar coflowing jets (Lasheras et al., Lect. Appl. Math., 28, 1991).

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
