an experimental study has been performed to investigate the flow physics of an under-expanded axisymmetric supersonic jet exhausting transversely from a flat plate into a subsonic compressible cross flow. the goal was to study the effects of boundary layer thickness ratio (δ/d) and the jet to free stream dynamic pressure ratio (j) on surface pressure. the resulting measurements distinctly show ...

The present study proposes novel micro-jet impingement heat sink with effusion holes for flow extraction. The design consists of impingement nozzles surrounded by multiple effusion holes to take away the spent fluid. A three-dimensional numerical model is used for steady, incompressible, laminar flow and conjugate heat transfer for the performance analysis of the proposed design. The computatio...

We show that when water droplets gently impact on a hydrophobic surface, the droplet shoots out a violent jet, the velocity of which can be up to 40 times the drop impact speed. As a function of the impact velocity, two different hydrodynamic singularities are found that correspond to the collapse of the air cavity formed by the deformation of the drop at impact. It is the collapse that subsequ...

in this study, the effect of suction and the parameters such as suction amplitude, suction coefficient and suction jet length on naca0012 was evaluated. the turbulence employed model was the rsm model. suction jet is located in 10% of the chord length. the range of suction jet entrance velocity was selected from 0.1 to 0.5 of freestream velocity. the maximum increase in lift to drag ratio was s...

one of the world's major mineral dust source regions lies along the border between iran and afghanistan. in this studyit is hypothesized that a low-level jet may play in role in generating the intensity of this source region. the presence of alow-level jet east of the seistan mountains is documented here for the first time. the jet exists mainly from may toseptember and has a core at 850 mb. ma...

Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...
