Abstract

Laboratory experiments were developed to study the interaction between two outwardly oriented gas jets issuing into a quiescent environment. Particle image velocimetry measured the interaction between the jets which was quantified in terms of mean velocity and turbulence strength profiles. A semi-analytical model was developed to predict the combined jet velocity profiles and interactions. Jets of small offset angles and orifice spacings demonstrated greater interaction in the combined flow field, and jets oriented outward at large angles were observed to not interact. The work presented here provides quantifications to the broad scenario of venting flows with a specific interest in assisting the characterization of lithium ion battery failures.
