Injection and mixing in turbulent flow
Abstract
The present volume is organized to provide detailed coverage of both the available data and the theoretical prediction methods in current use for injection and mixing in turbulent flow. Only methods employing numerically exact solutions of the equations of motion are generally included. Wherever possible, competing predictions for the same flow are compared to each other and to experimental data. The case of a single jet, planar or axisymmetric, in a coflowing mainstream is selected as a baseline case and is discussed in considerable detail. The cases of axial pressure gradient, zero net axial momentum effect (self-propulsion), swirl, two-phase mixtures, three-dimensional but coaxial geometry, transverse injection, buoyancy forces, and viscous-inviscid interaction are treated as variations on the baseline case. Effects excluded from the scope of the coverage include primarily the explicit influence of solid boundaries in the mixing region, chemical reactions, and noise production.
