Experimental investigation of the turbulent §ow ¦eld of jets emanating from circular and curved-edged noncircular nozzles is conducted using hotwire anemometry. Distributions of the mean velocity vector are obtained by traversing a triple-sensor hot-wire probe at varying streamwise locations downstream of the jet exit plane in a low-speed free-jet facility. Measurements are obtained for a baseline circular nozzle (round jet) and for equilateral triangular and square nozzles. The data are used to compare the structure of the §ow ¦eld within these jets such as their mean velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, and entrainment levels. Axis rotation phenomenon is also investigated for noncircular nozzles, and it was not observed up to a streamwise location of 10d (d is the nozzle equivalent diameter, equals to 40 mm) for noncircular nozzles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
