Experimental investigation on the turbulent elliptic jets by using a 3-D LDV system

3-D LDV 시스템을 이용한 타원제트의 난류특성에 관한 연구

Three-dimensional turbulent structures in the near field of elliptic jet were experimentally investigated by using a three-color, three-component Laser Doppler Velocimeter. The Reynolds number based on the nozzle exit velocity and nozzle equivalent diameter(De) was about 4*10$^{4}$. The turbulent characteristics of a sharp-edged elliptic nozzle with aspect ratio of 2 were analyzed along major and minor axis at X/De=2,3,5,7 and along the centerline up to X/De=14. Quantities measured at each point with the 3-D LDV system were three orthogonal velocity components, turbulent intensity, skewness, flatness, and Reynolds shear stress. The nondimensional mean velocities coincided well with the Schlichting's empirical curve with going downstream. Elliptic jet of AR=2 had two switching points at about X/De=2 and 16. The turbulent intensity along the minor axis was distributed widely than that along the major axis. In the near field, X/De<5, the Reynolds shear stresses of the inner part of the elliptic jet had negative value, which indicated the enhancement of entrainment toward the inner part.
