Characteristics of swirling jet in crossflow were studied in generaland the effects of swirl on the characteristics were investigated inparticular. Heated swirling jet with non-zero circulation generated from arotating pipe with honeycomb was used and temperature distributions in thecross planes downstream of the jet were surveyed in order to investigateboth local and global mixing characteristics. The experiments wereconducted at a fixed effective velocity ratio of 4.1, swirl ratio rangedfrom 0 (no swirl) to 0.82, and at Reynolds number of 12,000. The results indicated that, swirl caused asymmetry in the jetstructures and, hence, the temperature distribution within the jet,creating a region of high temperature and temperature gradient on the sidewhich the jet tangential velocity was in the same direction as thecrossflow velocity (suction side) and a corresponding region of lowtemperature and temperature gradient on side which the jet tangentialvelocity was in the opposite direction to the crossflow velocity (pressureside). This was attributed to the development, and the contrasting effectof swirl velocity on the development, of a skew mixing layer on eachlateral edge of the jet. The degree of asymmetry was observed to increasewith swirl. Nonetheless, it was also observed that, albeit the effects ofswirl in the asymmetry of temperature distribution within the jet, the lowtemperature envelop describing the edge of the jet was relatively unchangedand symmetric. The results showed that, within the present range of parameters,swirl had little influence on the global characteristics of the jet such asthe spreading rate and the low temperature envelope mentioned above. Inaddition, the results also indicated that swirl had little influence on theglobal characteristics in the centerplane of the jet. This was seen throughlittle change in the trajectory of maximum centerplane temperature, theprojecte-dtrajectory of centroid temperature, the decay of maximumcenterplane temperature, and the decay of the projected maximumtemperature, with swirl. On the other hand, the effects of swirl on theglobal characteristics in the horizontal crossplane were pronounced. Thiswas seen through significant change in the projected trajectory of centroidtemperature with swirl. These results pointed out to the distinctive rolesand effects of swirl and of the effective velocity ratio on thecharacteristic of swirling jet in crossflow. |
