Large eddy simulations of a triangular jet and its counterpart through a chamber

A free triangular jet(TJ1) and its counterpart initially passing a short circular chamber(TJ2) are numerically modeled using large eddy simulation(LES). This paper compares the near-field characteristics of the two jets in detail. To enable some necessary experimental validations, the LES conditions of TJ1 and TJ2 are taken to be identical to those measured by Xu et al.(Sci. China Phys. 56 1176(2013)) and England et al.(Exp. Fluids. 48 69(2010)), respectively. The LES predictions are found to agree well with those measurements. It is demonstrated that a strong swirl occurs near the chamber inlet plane for the TJ2 flow. At the center of the swirl, there is a cluster of three sink foci, where each focus is aligned midway between the original triangular apexes. In the vortex skeleton constructed from the time-averaged flow field, the vortices arising from the foci are helically twisted around the core of the jet. As the flow passes through the chamber, the foci merge to form a closed-loop "bifurcation line", which separates the inward swirling flow and the outward oscillating jet. This global oscillation is regarded as a source node near the centerline of the chamber. If the chamber is removed for a"free" jet, i.e., TJ1, a cluster of three pairs of counter-rotating foci is produced and the net swirl circulation is zero, so the overall oscillation of the jet does not occur.     

Impact of co- and counter-swirl on flow recirculation and liftoff of non-premixed oxy-flames above coaxial injectors

Controlling the flame shape and its liftoff height is one of the main issues for oxy-flames to limit heat transfer to the solid components of the injector. An extensive experimental study is carried out to analyze the effects of co- and counter-swirl on the flow and flame patterns of non-premixed oxy-flames stabilized above a coaxial injector when both the inner fuel and the annular oxidizer streams are swirled. A swirl level greater than 0.6 in the annular oxidizer stream is shown to yield compact oxy-flames with a strong central recirculation zone that are attached to the rim of central fuel tube in absence of inner swirl. It is shown that counter-swirl in the fuel tube weakens this recirculation zone leading to more elongated flames, while co-swirl enhances it with more compact flames. These results obtained for high annular swirl levels contrast with previous observations made on gas turbine injectors operated at lower annular swirl levels in which central recirculation of the flow is mainly achieved with counter-rotating swirlers. Imparting a high inner swirl to the central fuel stream leads to lifted flames due to the partial blockage of the flow at the injector outlet by the central recirculation zone that causes high strain rates in the wake of the injector rim. This partial flow blockage is more influenced by the level of the inner swirl than its rotation direction. A global swirl number is then introduced to analyze the structure of the flow far from the burner outlet where swirl dissipation takes place when the jets mix. A model is derived for the global swirl number which well reproduces the evolution of the mass flow rate of recirculating gases measured in non-reacting conditions and the flame liftoff height when the inner and outer swirl levels and the momentum flux ratio between the two streams are varied.     

3C PIV and PLIF measurement in turbulent mixing

The present work focuses on the measurements of instantaneous concentration fields of a passive scalar due to an impinging round jet injection into a liquid filled rectangular tank. Simultaneous measurements of velocity and passive scalar concentration fields have been conducted by using Particle Image Velocimetry (planar 2C and 3C PIV) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) techniques. The mixing injection behavior is analyzed for several injection values of depth and flow rate. Results showed the classical developing and self-similar regions of the jet, the mixing layer and the coupled concentration and velocity fields due to impingement. Finally, 3C PIV reveals a 3D flow jet structure which seems to be a swirl that does not disturb 2D analysis.     

Scaling relations for the length of coaxial oxy-flames with and without swirl

An extensive experimental study is carried out to analyze scaling laws for the length of methane oxy-flames stabilized on a coaxial injector. The central methane fuel stream is diluted with N₂, CO₂ or He. The annular air stream is enriched with oxygen and can be impregnated with swirl. Former studies have shown that the stoichiometric mixing length of relatively short flames is controlled by the mixing process taking place in the vicinity of the injector outlet. This property has been used to derive scaling laws at large values of the stoichiometric mixture fraction. It is shown here that the same relation can be extended to methane oxy-flames characterized by small values of the stoichiometric mixture fraction. Flame lengths are determined with OH* chemiluminescence measurements over more than 1000 combinations of momentum ratio, annular swirl level and composition of the inner and outer streams of the coaxial injector. It is found that the lengths of all the flames investigated without swirl collapse on a single line, whose coefficients correspond to within 15% of flame lengths obtained for fuel and oxidizer streams at much larger stoichiometric mixture fractions. This relation is then extended to the case of swirling flames by including the contribution of the tangential velocity in the flow entrainment rate and is found to well reproduce the mixing degree of the two co-axial streams as long as the flow does not exhibit a vortex breakdown bubble. At higher swirl levels, when the flow features a central recirculation region, the flame length is found to also directly depend on the oxygen enrichment in the oxidizer stream.     

Mean and fluctuating velocity fields of a diamond turbulent jet

The present paper reports the first investigation on a turbulent jet issuing from a diamond orifice(hereafter termed a "diamond jet") with an aspect ratio of 1.7.Velocity measurements were conducted in the transitional region,and the exit Reynolds number of the jet was 50000.For comparison,a round jet with identical normalized boundary conditions was also measured.It is shown that the diamond jet decays and spreads faster than the round jet does over the measured flow region.The axis-switching phenomenon is observed in the diamond jet.Although both jets display primary coherent structures in the near field,these structures are found to break down more rapidly in the diamond jet,due to the higher three-dimensionality of the flow.Moreover,the streamwise components of the Reynolds normal stress and all the shear stresses reach their maxima around the location of the maximal mean shear while the maxima of the lateral components of the Reynolds normal stresses occur around the centreline of the jet.     

PIV measurements of the flow and turbulent characteristics of a round jet in crossflow

The instantaneous and ensemble averaged flow characteristics of a round jet issuing normally into a crossflow was studied using a flow visualization technique and Particle Image Velocimetry measurements. Experiments were performed at a jet-to-crossflow velocity ratio, 3.3 and two Reynolds numbers, 1,050 and 2,100, based on crossflow velocity and jet diameter. Instantaneous laser tomographic images of the vertical center plane of the crossflow jet show that there exists very different natures in the flow structures of the near field jet due to Reynolds number effect even though the velocity ratio is same. It is found that the shear layer becomes much thicker when the Reynolds number is 2,100 because of the strong entrainment of the inviscid fluid by turbulent interaction between the jet and crossflow. The mean and second order statistics are calculated by ensemble averaging over 1,000 realizations of instantaneous velocity fields. The detail characteristics of mean flow field, streamwise and vertical rms velocity fluctuations, and Reynolds shear stress distributions are presented. The new PIV results are compared with those from previous experimental and LES studies.

Structure conditioned velocity statistics in a high pressure swirl flame

A piloted, partially premixed, liquid-fueled swirl burner is operated at high pressure (1 MPa). High-speed (6 KHz) stereoscopic PIV is used to investigate the characteristics of the stagnation line separating the pilot jet and the central recirculation zone (CRZ) with varying pilot-main ratio and global equivalence ratio. The mean curvature of the stagnation line displayed a large spatial scale pattern that was present for all operating conditions. All three components of velocity, in-plane shear, and swirling strength are conditioned upon the instantaneous stagnation line. Mean distributions of the velocity normal to the stagnation line show that velocity is oriented towards the CRZ when the stagnation line is found nearer the centerline of the combustor. The conditioned out-of-plane velocity (w) shows a distinct concentration of large mean and fluctuation RMS values towards the center of the measurement domain. Varying fuel flow does not significantly change this spatial structure, only the magnitudes of the w statistics. The in-plane shear stress was the largest for the pilot biased condition as a stronger shear layer develops. For the leanest flame, large fluctuation RMS values of shear stress were confined to a region where the pilot jet begins to interact more heavily with the main jet. Operating with less pilot fuel flow enhanced the mean conditional swirling strength indicating that the pilot shear layer was shedding more intense eddies. Disregarding spatial relations, a scatter plot of w, shear stress, and swirling strength displayed trends between the variables. The largest swirling strength values coincide with highest magnitude shear stresses and the widest range of w. These conditioned statistics highlight how certain aspects of the combustor flow field are invariant with fuel distribution. This is desirable for aeropropulsive combustors that must maintain stable ignition from a range of conditions from landing/take-off to cruise.     

Visualization of molten pools and invisible laser beam profiles using an ultraviolet CCD camera

Experiments were conducted on the effects of a wall distance and velocity ratio of suction flow to injection flow on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a circular impinging jet accompanying an annular suction flow. As a result, it is found that in the case of accompanying suction flow, a higher Nusselt number can be obtained compared with in the case without suction flow, under a condition of the wall distance within eight times of injection pipe diameter from the near pipe exit edge. In addition, when the effect of velocity ratio is examined at a fixed arbitrary wall distance, it is found that there exists an optimum velocity ratio where the Nusselt number becomes the maximum. It is shown that these heat transfer characteristics are closely associated with the fluctuating velocity and the mean velocity in the two-dimensional velocity field observed by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).

Effect of swirl on combustion dynamics in a lean-premixed swirl-stabilized combustor

The effect of inlet swirl on the flow development and combustion dynamics in a lean-premixed swirl-stabilized combustor has been numerically investigated using a large-eddy-simulation (LES) technique along with a level-set flamelet library approach. Results indicate that when the inlet swirl number exceeds a critical value, a vortex-breakdown-induced central toroidal recirculation zone is established in the downstream region. As the swirl number increases further, the recirculation zone moves upstream and merges with the wake recirculation zone behind the centerbody. Excessive swirl may cause the central recirculating flow to penetrate into the inlet annulus and lead to the occurrence of flame flashback. A higher swirl number tends to increase the turbulence intensity, and consequently the flame speed. As a result, the flame surface area is reduced. The net heat release, however, remains almost unchanged because of the enhanced flame speed. Transverse acoustic oscillations often prevail under the effects of strong swirling flows, whereas longitudinal modes dominate the wave motions in cases with weak swirl. The ensuing effect on the flow/flame interactions in the chamber is substantial.     

Flow mapping of a jet in crossflow with Stereoscopic PIV

Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has been used to make a three-dimensional flow mapping of a jet in crossflow. The Reynolds number based on the free stream velocity and the jet diameter was nominally 2400. A jet-to-crossflow velocity ratio of 3.3 was used. Details of the formation of the counter rotating vortex pair found behind the jet are shown. The vortex pair results in two regions with strong reversed velocities behind the jet trajectory. Regions of high turbulent kinetic energy are identified. The signature of the unsteady shear layer vortices is found in the mean vorticity field.     

Investigation of a supersonic free jet by means of a laser anemometer

The present paper reports on experimental investigations conducted by means of a laser anemometer in order to analyze a supersonic free jet escaping from a non-divergent nozzle into the free atmosphere. As the free jet is generated in a shock tube, thereby presenting a blow time of the order of 1 ms only, the laser anemometer also proved to be very suitable as a measuring probe to study transient phenomena involving high flow velocities. The experimental results achieved are compared to theoretical predictions.     

Longitudinal structures in the near field of a plane wall jet

In the present study, the flow field near the orifice of a plane wall jet is in focus. Two main flow regions may be distinguished in the wall jet, i. e., a free shear layer away from the wall and a boundary layer close to the surface. In both of these layers, streamwise coherent structures are detected by means of smoke visualization and hot-wire measurements. The structures, which occur naturally, have different spanwise scales and emerge at different distance from the nozzle. Effects of the flow velocity, upstream perturbations, and acoustic excitation on the generation and characteristics of the streamwise disturbances are investigated, and especially the interaction between the two layers is studied. In order to resolve the complex 3D flow by means of hotwires a system for accurate automated traversing and data acquisition has been developed. In each flow case time-dependent measurements were taken in (X, Y, Z) space of about 3000 to 25,000 points, and it was found that the value of outlet velocity and the frequency of Kelvin — Helmholtz rolls have a clear influence on the size of the structures. Higher outlet velocities and higher frequencies of triggered two-dimensional roll-ups lead to a decrease in the size of longitudinal structures.

Numerical flow visualization of a Single Expansion Ramp Nozzle with hypersonic external flow

Numerical simulation of scramjet asymmetric nozzle flow is carried out to visualize and investigate the effects of interaction between engine exhaust and hypersonic external flow. The Single Expansion Ramp Nozzle (SERN) configuration studied here consists of flat ramp and a cowl with different combinations of ramp angle and cowl geometry. UsingPARAS 3D, simulations are performed for a free stream Mach number of 6.5 that constitutes the external flow around the vehicle. Appropriate specific heats ratio has been simulated for the jet and free stream flow. External shock wave due to jet plume interaction with free stream flow, the internal barrel shock wave and the shear layer emanating from the cowl trailing edge and sidewalls are well captured. Wall static pressure distribution on the nozzle ramp for different nozzle expansion angles has been computed for both with and without side fence. Axial thrust and normal force have been evaluated by integrating the wall static pressure. Effect of cowl length variation and side fence on the SERN performance has also been studied and found to be quite significant. Based on this study, an optimum ramp angle at which the SERN generates maximum axial thrust is obtained. SERN angle of 20° was found to be optimum when the flight axis coincides with nozzle axis.     

Interaction of Annular Air Jet with a Non-Evaporating Liquid Spray

The effects of a concentric annular air jet on the structure of a liquid spray have been examined under isothermal conditions using Phase Doppler interferometry, and flow visualization techniques. Local measurements of drop size, velocity, volume flux, and number density have been made simultaneously and non-intrusively. The results show that the initial spray cone widens substantially with increasing air flow while the overall spray envelope remains essentially the same. The air jet creates a narrow high mass flux region of small droplets in the core of the spray, surrounded by a nearly uniform flux region extending almost to the boundary of the spray. Line averaged mean diameters are found to be slightly smaller, indicating that the annular air jet plays a role improving the atomization process as well.
