Evolution of three-dimensional coherent structures in compressible axisymmetric jet

A high order difference scheme is used to simulate the spatially developing compressible axisymmetric jet. The results show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability appears first when the jet loses its stability, and then with development of jet the increase in nonlinear effects leads to the secondary instability and the formation of the streamwise vortices. The evolution of the three-dimensional coherent structure is presented. The computed results verify that in axisymmetric jet the secondary instability and formation of the streamwise vortices are the important physical mechanism of enhancing the flow mixing and transition occurring.     

可压缩轴对称射流流场近区的数值模拟

采用高精度差分方法对二维轴对称可压缩射流流场进行了数值模拟,研究了大尺度涡结构的形成和发展过程及其在射流雪展过程中的作用,计算结果显示了射流失稳后首先出现Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ－Ｈｅｌｍｈｏｌｔｚ非稳定特征,之后向下游发展的过程中, 一笥效应的增长导致涡的配对和对并;指出射流场中压力波动的分布是大尺度涡结构分布的直接结果。
