Approximation for the coherent structures in the planar jet flow

The snapshot method is introduced to approximate the coherent structures of planar jet flow. The numerical simulation of instantaneous flow field is analyzed by SIMPLE algorithm. An ensemble of realizations is collected using a sampling condition that corresponds to the passage of a large scale vortex at positions 4 and 6 diameters downstream from the nozzle. With snapshot mothod we could treat the data efficiently and approximate coherent structures inhered in the planar jet flow successfully 94% of total turbulent kinetic energy with 10 terms of Karhunen-Loeve expansions. Finally, In accordance with the recent trend to try to explain and model turbulence phenomena with the existence of coherent structures, in the present study, we express the underlying coherent structures of planar jet flow in the minimum number of modes by calculating Karhunen-Loeve expansions in order to improve to understanding of jet flow and to make the information storage and management in computers easier.
