Abstract
In this present work, we have studied the directed co-flow effects on mean and turbulent flow properties of a turbulent heated plane jet with variable density discharging into a directed co-flowing stream. The first order k-εturbulence model is applied and has been compared with the existing experimental data. The Finite Volume Method (FVM) is used to discretize governing equations. First of all, it is found that predicted results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental findings. Moreover, the numerical results of the mean and turbulent quantities has been presented and discussed in this work. The major interest of presenting this model is that to show the importance of the directed co-flow with a positive angle, which is enhancing the mixing. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis of the air entrainment would suggest that the higher inlet hot air jet temperature affect more the lateral in flow of air into the jet and jet lateral expansion is augmented when the inlet hot air jet temperature increases. Therefore, the increase of the inlet hot air jet temperature decreases faster the axial mean velocity and thus more entrainment air is required.
