Trapping region of impinging jets in a cross‐shaped channel

Abstract: This study follows our previous report (Zhang et al., Phys. Fluids, vol. 31, 2019, 034105) by describing the formation and evolution of the engulfment flow in the cross-shaped channel. First, the flow regimes were studied by planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF). Results show the formation of a spiral vortex in the center of the chamber and the appearance of a well-mixed zone inside the spiral vortex. Second, we proposed a novel experimental method to analyze the residence time of the fluid in the chamber, … Show more

“…It can be seen in Figure A (2–3), that, with the further increase in Re , an anticlockwise spiral vortex developed beyond Re c , and the spiral expanded both vertically and horizontally. The vortex pattern and Re c onset for the crossover agree very well with previous studies, in which the spiral vortex was measured at the mm scale. ,, …”

“…The vortex pattern and Re c onset for the crossover agree very well with previous studies, in which the spiral vortex was measured at the mm scale. 31,40,41 To gain deeper insights, we also performed numerical analysis, using OpenFOAM 42 (see Materials and Methods for numerical computation details). Each experimental crossjunction case (Figure 2A) was solved as an incompressible fluid, and analyzed with respect to the presence of both steadystate and transient flows.…”

“…In this paper, we have studied numerically the flow structure and the instabilities creating axial vortices in X-junctions of perpendicular channels of rectangular cross sections with aspect ratios AR. Previous works had only dealt either with low values of AR (one vortex) 23,26,49 or large ones (many vortices) 53 . The present study has been focused, instead, on a transition range: 1 < AR < 11 for which 1 to 4 vortices are observed.…”

“…Quantitatively, we observed one single vortex for AR 3.8, in agreement with Refs. 23,49 , two vortices for 3.8 AR 8.5 and three for 8.5…”

“…Thus, it is important to characterize the flow regimes for different geometries, as it has been done in the literature (see for instance the following review papers: Refs. 1, 3-5); among promising recent configurations we mention passive cross-shaped mixers [6][7][8] . A wide class of mixers are T-mixers; these are characterized by two inlet channels and an outflow one arranged in a T-shaped configuration and are among the most studied mixer configurations in the literature (see for instance Refs.…”
