Finite element analysis of free jet impingement
Abstract
A finite element analysis of the steady-state flow pattern resulting from the impingement of an axisymmetric free jet is presented. The finite element method employs the velocity potential as the dependent variable and six-node triangle elements to represent the flow region. The steady-state flow pattern is divided into three distinct regions: disk, plume, and collision regions. Several solutions are obtained for each part separately. A complete solution for a given geometry and boundary condition consists of a coupling of corresponding solutions from each region.
